Who is MintCFD?
On the surface, MintCFD looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://mintcfd.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind MintCFD is where the problems begin.
Is MintCFD regulated?
We could find no evidence that MintCFD 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
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
Our analysis
MintCFD claims to be based in India and operates as a brand name of MINTCFD LTD. The company states that it is regulated by the Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA) under License No. LL18171. However, our verification found no record of MINTCFD LTD in the LFSA’s official register of licensed entities—indicating that this license may be invalid or has been revoked. Additionally, we checked the list of Recognised Intermediaries maintained by The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and were unable to find any registration for this entity. This means MintCFD is not authorized to conduct securities-related business in India. MintCFD appears to operate without regulatory oversight either in India or internationally. Therefore, it is a scam broker.
Can you recover money lost to MintCFD?
If you have deposited with MintCFD, 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.
