MS Hipex

After reviewing MS Hipex, we assess it as a high-risk, likely fraudulent broker. Below we break down exactly why, and what your options are if you have already deposited.

Who is MS Hipex?

On the surface, MS Hipex looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://mshipex.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind MS Hipex is where the problems begin.

Is MS Hipex regulated?

MS Hipex provides no verifiable regulatory licence. An unregulated broker answers to no one: it can freeze withdrawals, invent fees, and disappear with deposits, all without consequence. This alone is reason enough to stay away.

Red flags we identified

• Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
• Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
• Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
• Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
• Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight

Our analysis

MS Hipex asserts that it is licensed by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under license number 039/11. However, this license number is non-existent, and MS Hipex is not listed in the CySEC register, indicating that the regulatory information it provides is false. Additionally, MS Hipex claims to have an office in Switzerland. However, for brokers to legally offer financial services in Switzerland, they must obtain a banking license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). Our search in the FINMA commercial register did not yield any results for this company. On its License web page, MS Hipex gives simple introductions about financial regulators, including the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), the CySEC, the Belize Financial Services Commission (Belize FSC), and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), to give an impression of legitimacy. However, it is not regulated by any of these entities. In conclusion, MS Hipex is not regulated by any governing body, making it highly risky to entrust them with investors' funds due to the lack of legal protections. Therefore, it appears that MS Hipex may be fraudulent.

Can you recover money lost to MS Hipex?

If you have deposited with MS Hipex, 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.
