About STB Markets
STB Markets (website: stbmarkets.com) holds no regulatory licences from any recognised financial authority. The UK Financial Conduct Authority lists STB Markets as an unauthorised firm providing financial services in the UK without authorisation, warning that clients would not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or protection under the FSCS. The address 177 Shaftesbury Avenue, London WC2H 8JR, and other contact details are provided by the firm but are not supported by FCA records. ()
The broker has also been flagged by multiple EU regulators. The French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) added STB Markets to its blacklist of unauthorised firms on 11 January 2023. Similarly, the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) included STB Markets in its warning list of fraudulent online trading platforms on 23 February 2023. Additionally, Italian regulator CONSOB has issued a blocking order for the domain stbmarkets.com. () ()
Corporate information indicates dubious practices: STB PROvider LTD (allegedly trading as STB Markets) is registered in Saint Lucia (IBC No. 2023‑00478), not authorised for retail brokerage, and holds only an MSB (money service business) registration inappropriate for offering leveraged CFD trading. Frequent domain switching (e.g., from stbmarkets.com to stbbrokers.com), opaque ownership, lack of segregated client accounts, no audited financials, and multiple virtual office addresses further undermine credibility. ()
Trading conditions reportedly include WebTrader-only access (no MT4/MT5/cTrader), minimum deposit of US $250, high leverage up to 1:100, crypto-only deposits (especially Bitcoin), and hidden bonuses with restrictive withdrawal terms, such as inactivity fees and impossible trading volume requirements. No spread, commission, or account-type transparency is provided. Users report manipulated platforms, refusal or delay of withdrawals, absence of demo accounts, and unresponsive support. () ()
