KMAX Review

About KMAX

KMAX—operating via the domain kmax.asia—claims to be a broker offering trading in cryptocurrencies, forex pairs, commodities, stocks, and indices. It asserts registration in New Zealand as a Financial Service Provider under NZBN 9429050283903. However, the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (NZ FMA) does not recognise KMAX as a licensed Derivatives Issuer, meaning it is not authorised to provide forex or derivatives trading services. This absence of valid regulation indicates that no legal protections exist for client funds.

Multiple independent reviews and risk-assessment tools consistently flag KMAX as high-risk or unregulated. ScamTracing notes the absence of supervision by major financial authorities such as the UK’s FCA. WikiFX similarly indicates “No Regulation” and classifies the regulatory status of KMAX as suspicious, assigning it a low-risk score. The entity "PURPLE NINE FINANCIAL SERVICES TRUST LP" is referenced with a New Zealand registration number, but this does not equate to operational or legal licence for financial service activities.
