We operate under strict oversight to guarantee integrity, client fund safety, and market fairness. Our company aligns with global standards like MiFID II while adapting to Malaysia’s regulatory environment. This approach allows Malaysian traders to access a compliant and secure trading ecosystem.

The regulatory framework covers licensing, client fund segregation, risk management, and AML/KYC compliance. Malaysian clients can verify our regulatory credentials through official channels. We regularly update our policies to reflect current legal requirements applicable in Malaysia.

Our regulatory oversight includes continuous audits and compliance checks. Malaysian traders benefit from a multi-regulatory approach that balances global standards with local requirements. This provides an additional layer of confidence when trading forex and CFDs with AMarkets.

Licensing Structure and Jurisdictions

AMarkets holds multiple licenses across different jurisdictions to serve Malaysian clients comprehensively. These licenses authorize us to offer both forex and CFD trading services. Each license imposes specific operational standards ensuring client fund safety and fair trading conditions. Malaysian traders benefit from this layered licensing approach by accessing regulated services with transparent terms.

• Licenses cover investment services, forex dealing, and CFD market making.
• Each jurisdiction enforces client fund segregation and dispute resolution protocols.
• Malaysian traders access flexible leverage and diverse instruments under these licenses.
• Licensing also mandates regular financial reporting and audits.
• We maintain separate compliance teams for each licensing region to ensure adherence.

Our licensing model balances regulatory robustness with operational flexibility, enabling Malaysian clients to utilize a broad selection of trading products.

Client Fund Protection Mechanisms

AMarkets applies rigorous protocols to safeguard Malaysian client deposits. We segregate client funds from company capital in tier-one banks with daily reconciliations. This segregation ensures Malaysian traders’ deposits remain protected even if the company faces financial difficulties. Investor compensation schemes provide additional security layers where applicable.

Professional indemnity insurance complements segregation by covering potential liabilities. Malaysian clients can request proof of fund segregation and compensation coverage through the client portal. Our transparent fund protection framework complies with regulatory mandates across all licensed jurisdictions.

Malaysian traders retain full ownership of deposited funds throughout their trading relationship. Any use of funds beyond trading requires explicit client consent, ensuring control and transparency.

Regulatory Compliance Procedures

Compliance with AML and KYC is mandatory for Malaysian clients opening accounts with AMarkets. Verification involves identity and address confirmation using Malaysian passports, identity cards, and utility bills. The process typically completes within 24-48 hours during Malaysian business days. Clients receive progress notifications via email at each verification stage.

• Submit valid Malaysian identification documents.
• Confirm residential address with recent utility bills.
• Provide source of funds for deposits above regulatory thresholds.
• Track verification status in the client portal.
• Contact compliance support for additional documentation requests.

Transaction monitoring systems automatically analyze Malaysian client accounts for suspicious activities. These systems review trading patterns, deposit origins, and withdrawal destinations in real time. Alerts trigger manual compliance reviews when irregularities are detected.

Dispute Resolution and Client Protection

Our dispute resolution framework provides Malaysian clients with multi-tiered complaint handling options. Initial complaints are addressed within 48 hours by dedicated compliance officers. Full investigations conclude within 15 business days. If unresolved, disputes escalate to external ombudsman services or relevant regulatory authorities.

Legal recourse is available for complex cases across our licensed jurisdictions. Malaysian clients receive clear instructions on complaint procedures via the website and client portal. Regular audits ensure complaint handling meets regulatory and client service standards.

Malaysian clients benefit from transparent dispute resolution supported by professional mediation and regulatory oversight.
