Brief informationIC Markets
The company was registered in 2007 under the license of the Australian regulator AFSL. The approval document has been safely stored and extended all these years. But the company's central office moved to Seychelles. Licensed by the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles. They like to shorten the name of this regulator to FSA - the British licensing authority, one of the most reliable and cool in the world, has the same abbreviation.
That is why it is important not to confuse them: the status of an offshore FSA of Seychelles document is significantly lower than that of its English namesake. But as for tropical island licenses, this one is relatively good - at least in recent years after tightening requirements.

Conclusions about IC Markets
The broker is decent enough. It has been on the market since 2007 - and this is the whole era. Consider whether it has the right to provide services to residents of your country. That's one point off for moving the head office to offshore island and for a small list of countries available for use. The broker has so very limited licenses.
