Who is STB Markets?
On the surface, STB Markets looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://stbmarkets.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind STB Markets is where the problems begin.
Is STB Markets regulated?
STB Markets 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
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
