In the financial markets, choosing a secure and reliable trading platform is critical. As one of the world’s leading financial service providers, ETO Markets has upheld a core commitment to regulatory compliance and client fund security for over 12 years.
ETO Markets is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) under Australian Financial Services (AFS) license no. 420224, and by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) under Securities Dealer license no. SD062. This dual regulatory framework ensures a legal, compliant, secure, and transparent trading environment.
ASIC Australia: A Global Benchmark for Regulation
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is one of the most authoritative financial regulators in the world, overseeing securities, derivatives, forex trading, and other financial services. ASIC protects customers by ensuring that financial markets remain transparent, fair and efficient under the Corporations Act 2001. Holding an Australian Financial Services (AFS) license requires the company to meet rigorous standards for capital adequacy, segregation of customers' funds and transparent reporting.
ETO Markets | Our ASIC Compliance Practices
Client Fund Segregation
All client funds are securely held in dedicated accounts at National Australia Bank (NAB), fully segregated from operational funds. Daily reconciliations ensure proper allocation and safety of customers assets.
Transparency & Reporting
Regular financial and transaction reports are submitted to ASIC, with independent third-party audits to maintain accountability.
Investor Protection
Professional indemnity insurance (PII) covers operational risks, with dedicated dispute resolution channels to safeguard client interests.
FSA Seychelles: Flexible Compliance, Global Reach
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Seychelles attracts global institutions with its cost-efficient and flexible regulatory approach. The Securities Dealer License (SDL) permits licensed brokers to offer forex, CFDs, and securities brokerage services. FSA tailors its requirements to actual business activities while enforcing key safeguards such as client fund segregation, leverage limits, and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.
Our FSA Compliance Advantages
Flexible Market Access: The FSA license combines efficiency and flexibility, making it ideal for regulated access to markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Through this license, ETO Markets further strengthens the credibility of its global service network.
Enhanced Risk Controls: Under FSA oversight, ETO Markets continuously enhances system security with SSL encryption, multi-layer firewalls, and real-time data backups, ensuring 24/7 protection.
Localized Support: Dedicated compliance officers and audit teams ensure full adherence to FSA regulations, boosting client confidence across emerging markets.
ETO Markets Synergistic Oversight & Our Commitment to the Future
ETO Markets builds on the foundation of its ASIC (420224) and FSA (SD062) licenses to create a multi-layered safeguard for client assets through four pillars: fund segregation, frequent audits, professional insurance, and advanced security. Guided by our philosophy of “Clients First, Compliance at the Core,” ETO Markets will continue to deepen cooperation with global regulators to deliver ever greater transparency, stronger risk management, and a trustworthy trading environment for investors.
