What the MFSA licence means

Our records show that, Alchemy Markets holds a licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), the financial regulator for Malta. We classify the MFSA as tier 2 — strong regulation. Credible regulators with real rulebooks, but fewer safeguards than tier 1 (e.g. no compensation scheme or looser leverage rules).

For Alchemy Markets clients whose account is held by its MFSA-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — Investor Compensation Scheme — 90% of loss up to €20,000; retail leverage — 30:1 on major FX pairs (ESMA rules); negative balance protection — mandatory for retail clients; client money — MiFID II client asset rules. Disputes can be taken to Office of the Arbiter for Financial Services.
