ZERO Review: Regulation, Licences & Platforms
ZERO is a forex and CFD broker operated by ZERO Markets LLC, based in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The company maintains an online presence at zeromarkets.com.au and conducts business through multiple regulated legal entities in different jurisdictions.
Regulation & licensing
ZERO operates via two separately regulated entities.
In Australia, ZERO SECURITIES PTY LTD holds a licence from the Australia Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) under licence number 244040.
In New Zealand, ZERO MARKETS (NZ) LIMITED is regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) under licence number 569807.
The use of separate entities in Australia and New Zealand means regulatory oversight of client-facing operations depends on the entity through which an account is held.
Account types
ZERO lists several account options:
- Islamic Raw
- Islamic Standard
- Standard
- Super Zero
The two Islamic account variants are designed to accommodate clients requiring swap-free trading arrangements.
Readers are advised to verify a broker’s licence status directly with the relevant regulator β ASIC in Australia or the FMA in New Zealand β before opening an account.
