Its 2 recorded licences (CYSEC, ASIC) should be evaluated for cross-border passporting and local solicitation rules.

IC Markets carries a "risk level not supplied" classification in the source dataset (composite numeric scores are not supplied for this record). The record flags 1 regulatory warning or complaint count.

Before allocating capital or executing trades with IC Markets (listed execution software: ctrader-Web, ctrader-Android, ctrader-Windows), institutional and retail allocators should: (1) confirm the domain (not supplied in source) against regulator-approved domains to guard against clone firms; (2) verify whether any of the 1 recorded warning/complaint entries or 0 user comments involve withdrawal restrictions or scope violations; and (3) confirm the dispute-resolution ombudsman tied to CYSEC.
