Eightcap was founded in Melbourne in 2009 and holds ASIC, FCA and CySEC licenses for those markets. International clients are handled by offshore companies, and Eightcap has four of them.
Is Eightcap regulated?
For international clients, Eightcap lists Eightcap Global Limited (Securities Commission of The Bahamas, SIA-F220), Eightcap International Ltd (FSA Seychelles, SD100), Eightcap International Trading (FSC Mauritius, GB25204603) and CLMarkets Limited, trading as Eightcap International, which is registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines rather than licensed. Several reviews say most international clients go to the Bahamas company, but with four candidate entities and no country-by-country statement we could find, we score the weakest, as our methodology requires.
If your client agreement names Eightcap Global Limited in The Bahamas, your position is tier 3, noticeably better than this score suggests.
