  • 2021-09-02 BrokersView has reviewed that GCI is an unregulated forex broker

    GCI claims to be operated and owned by GCI Financial LTD, an entity registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority (SVG FSA). We do find a match result to GCI in SVG FSA. Nevertheless, SVG FSA does not issue any licenses for forex trading or brokerage nor does it regulate, monitor, supervise or license international companies engaging in such activities. 

    What's more, two professional regulators the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) both issued warnings against GCI for providing financial services without authorization. So GCI is currently not regulated by any financial regulator. That means investors' funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any laws. Therefore, it is a scam broker.

ANSWER GCI is an unregulated broker even though it states offers that look too good to be true.GCI claims to be operated and owned by GCI Financial Limited, an entity registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority (SVG FSA). We do find a match result to GCI in SVG FSA. Nevertheless, SVG FSA does not issue any licenses for forex trading or brokerage nor does it regulate, monitor, supervise or license international companies engaging in such activities. In addition, two professional regulators have issued warnings against this broker, they are:1) the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), and you can check the full warning here;2) the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), and you can check the full warning here.Regarding your question, we would suggest not to trade with GCI since it is an unlicensed broker. Letting this broker hold and control your funds or trading with them is very risky, as there are no safeguards in place to prevent fraud or theft. Therefore, we would recommend staying away from such unlicensed brokers as GCI and trading with fully regulated brokers.

ANSWER GCI is not a licensed or regulated broker even though it states offers that look good to be true. GCI claims it is owned and operated by GCI Financial LTD, a company registered in the St Vincent & The Grenadines Financial Services Authority (SVG FSA). We do find a match result to GCI in SVG FSA. However, SVG FSA does neither issue licenses for forex trading nor regulate brokers offering forex activities. More importantly, the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) both issued a warning to this broker for offering financial services and products without authorization. You can check full warnings from CNMV and AMF against GCI.The truth is, GCI is not overseen by any regulators. That means investors' funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. We would recommend traders stay away from unregulated brokers like GCI and trade with licensed brokers.

I opened an account in GCI. So did my friends. Unexpectedly, as we started to make some profits, GCI closed our positions and the next day they empty our accounts. They also removed our accounts' trading history. No response to online chat, No response to email. They are not giving us even our initial funds back. No response at all!
