Is IC Markets legal in Vietnam?
Retail forex via offshore brokers sits in a legal grey area in Vietnam — it is not clearly licensed domestically and authorities have warned about unlicensed platforms. Proceed with caution and understand the local risk.
IC Markets does not hold a State Bank of Vietnam licence specifically for Vietnam in our records, so Vietnamese clients are typically served through IC Markets's international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local Vietnam protection — check which entity you're signing up with.
IC Markets's regulation
Exact license numbers not yet verified — the official site mentions multi-regulation but the detailed regulation page was inaccessible during our check. Verify directly with the regulator (ASIC, CySEC, or the Seychelles FSA depending on the entity) before signing up.
For Vietnamese traders
Before you trade from Vietnam
Laws change and are enforced differently — this is general information, not legal advice. Always confirm the current rules with State Bank of Vietnam and verify which IC Markets entity serves Vietnam. Trading Forex/CFDs is high-risk and can lose all your capital.
