Regulatory profile
MultiBank Group is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2005 and headquartered in United Arab Emirates.
In our database MultiBank Group is matched to 7 licences from ASIC, BaFin, MAS, CySEC, FMA (NZ), CIMA and VFSC. The strongest of these, the ASIC (Australia), the BaFin (Germany) and the MAS (Singapore) are among the regulators we classify as tier 1 — bodies with strict capital, client-money and conduct rules.
Be aware that a single MultiBank Group website can front several legal entities. Its ASIC and BaFin-regulated companies serve local residents, while international clients are frequently handled by entities supervised by CIMA and VFSC, which offer much weaker safeguards.
Depending on the entity, eligible clients may be covered by EdW (BaFin) and Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) (CySEC). Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under ASIC, BaFin and CySEC rules. Retail leverage caps apply at the ASIC, BaFin and MAS-regulated entities (for example 30:1 on major FX pairs at ASIC).
MultiBank Group offers MT4 and MT5. The advertised minimum deposit starts from about US$50 — minimums often vary by account type and entity.
