Who is Premier Markets?
Premier Markets markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://premiermarkets.com/en. As with most operations of this kind, the polished front end conceals a lack of the basic protections a real, regulated broker is required to provide.
Is Premier Markets regulated?
We could find no evidence that Premier Markets holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.
Red flags we identified
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
Our analysis
Premier Markets does not claim to be licensed by any regulator; it only claims to be registered in Anguilla. While we can confirm that there is a company with the same name in the Anguilla Commercial Registry (ACORN) registry, this registration only grants it International Business Company (IBC) status. This does not constitute a valid financial licence. The ACORN neither regulates nor licences forex trading activities. Being unregulated is a major red flag for a fraudulent operation. Therefore, Premier Markets appears to be a scam.
Can you recover money lost to Premier Markets?
If you have deposited with Premier Markets, do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw — that is part of the trap. Funds sent to operations like this can sometimes be traced on-chain and pursued through the exchanges and processors that received them. Whether recovery is realistic depends on how you paid and how quickly you act.
