IC Markets and the FCA: why our check says "no claim found"
Not every broker claims a UK licence — and reporting that absence accurately matters as much as verifying a number.
What our check actually returned
When our engine read IC Markets's site on 4 August 2026 it found no statement claiming Financial Conduct Authority authorisation, so the verification result records "no claim" for that register (Investfora). This is a statement about what the broker's pages say, not about the broker's standing: a firm that does not claim a UK licence has nothing for us to check against the UK register.
What the absence does and does not mean
"No claim found" is not a warning and it is not a clearance. Brokers commonly operate under licences from other jurisdictions and never address UK readers at all. What a reader should take from it is narrower: our UK-register comparison, the thing this publication does, has no material to work with here (Investfora).
What the site does advertise
IC Markets's site advertises minimum spreads from 0 pips (IC Markets) and lists four platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView (IC Markets).
If you are considering this broker
Ask which legal entity your account would sit under, then look that entity up on the register of its own regulator. Our dated record for the brand is public (Investfora), alongside the pages we read it from (IC Markets).
Frequently asked questions
Is IC Markets regulated by the FCA?
Our 4 August 2026 read of IC Markets's site found no claim of FCA authorisation, so there was nothing to verify against the UK register. That is a statement about their pages, not a finding about the broker.
Does 'no claim found' mean IC Markets is unregulated?
No. Brokers often hold licences in other jurisdictions and never claim a UK one. It means our UK-register comparison had no material to check.
