IC Markets
Major regulatorIC Markets names at least one top-tier authority. In some jurisdictions that brings a searchable public register, a compensation scheme and a hard cap on retail leverage — but which of those you actually get depends on the authority, and the entity your account is opened with.

What IC Markets advertises
On its Raw Spread account, IC Markets advertises a spread from 0.1 pips on EUR/USD . A “from” rate is the tightest figure a broker has ever shown, on its most liquid pair, in its quietest hour — a floor reality cannot beat, not a price you will get.

Before you deposit
Open the client agreement and find the legal entity name. Then search that exact name on the register above. A group can hold a UK or Australian licence and still open your account on an offshore company, in which case the protections on this page do not apply to you. The website will not tell you which entity you get; the agreement will.
We publish no spread or swap figures for IC Markets. Those numbers are not available in any form we could cite, they change constantly, and they would be stale before you read them. Your own platform shows the exact terms of your account — put them into the cost calculator and the answer will be right rather than approximately plausible.
