Is Quotex legal in Malaysia?
Only brokers on the Securities Commission's approved list are authorized in Malaysia. Many offshore forex brokers are not, and some appear on the SC's Investor Alert List — check before signing up.
Quotex does not hold a Securities Commission Malaysia / Bank Negara licence specifically for Malaysia in our records, so Malaysian clients are typically served through Quotex's international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local Malaysia protection — check which entity you're signing up with.

For Malaysian traders
Before you trade from Malaysia
Laws change and are enforced differently — this is general information, not legal advice. Always confirm the current rules with Securities Commission Malaysia / Bank Negara and verify which Quotex entity serves Malaysia. Trading Forex/CFDs is high-risk and can lose all your capital.
