France's AMF Warns Against IC Markets, ZAR FX and Three Other Unauthorized Forex Brokers

The ACPR and the AMF are publishing a list of new websites and entities offering investments on the unregulated foreign exchange (Forex) market in France, without authorisation to do so.

Here is the list of new websites recently identified:
- www.activmarkets.com / ACTIVMARKETS
- www.brokers500.com / MARKET CITY INTER. SRL
- www.cvcgroups.com / CVC LTD
- www.icmarkets.com / INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETS PTY LTD
- www.zarforex.com / RGV MEDIA LTD

To ensure that the intermediary offering banking or financial products or services is authorised to operate in France, you can view the register of financial agents (https://www.regafi.fr ) or the list of authorised intermediaries in the financial investment advisor (FIA) or participating investment advisor (PIA) categories (https://www.orias.fr/search ).

If the intermediary in question is not on these lists, we strongly recommend that you should not make use of their services, as they are in breach of the applicable legislation and are not required to comply with basic rules of investor protection, information disclosure and claims handling.
