Bottom line

Fusion Markets has competitive all-in trading costs and reasonable deposit and withdrawal handling, but it offers leveraged CFDs, where most retail accounts lose money, and some clients may be onboarded through an offshore entity with weaker protection. Before depositing, verify the exact legal entity, product access and withdrawal terms that apply to you — and it's worth comparing alternatives before you decide.

Worth comparing if
  • you prioritise regulation
  • you trade forex or CFDs
  • you care about cost transparency
  • you want clearer withdrawal terms
Check alternatives if
  • you want to own spot crypto, not crypto CFDs
  • you're unsure which legal entity would apply to you
  • you're outside its stronger-regulated regions
  • you want non-CFD / direct investing only

Regulation snapshot

Group-company records include FMGP Trading Group Pty Ltd (ASIC — Australian clients only), Fusion Markets EU Ltd (CySEC), Gleneagle Securities Pty Limited (VFSC, Vanuatu) and Fusion Markets International Ltd (FSA, Seychelles). The partner confirmed country acceptance, but did not identify the company for UK/EEA referrals. That route remains unconfirmed and may be offshore; a CySEC register entry does not establish your account's company or terms. Confirm the company on your application and agreement before depositing.

Risk

Product risk

This reflects the risk of the products offered (e.g. leveraged CFDs) — not the broker's trustworthiness. A lower-risk product label is not an endorsement of the broker.

Product risk levelHigher caution
CFD / leverage riskHigh
Max leverage (region-aware)— globally; retail limits — Australia: up to 30:1. Lower limits apply to some instruments.
Crypto CFDsOffered via CFDs — you don't own the underlying coins.
Risk warning. CFDs and leveraged products are complex and high-risk. In the broker disclosures we track, 65% to 81% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs (figures by entity, read September 2026). Whether losses can exceed your deposit depends on the entity that onboards you: negative-balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under FCA, ESMA and ASIC rules, not at every offshore entity. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Products shown are offered as CFDs unless otherwise stated. Crypto CFDs do not provide ownership of the underlying cryptoasset. Product availability varies by region.

FAQ

Fusion Markets — common questions

Quick, research-based answers to what people check before depositing. Informational only — verify directly.

Is Fusion Markets regulated?+

Group-company records include FMGP Trading Group Pty Ltd (ASIC — Australian clients only), Fusion Markets EU Ltd (CySEC), Gleneagle Securities Pty Limited (VFSC, Vanuatu) and Fusion Markets International Ltd (FSA, Seychelles). The partner confirmed country acceptance, but did not identify the company for UK/EEA referrals. That route remains unconfirmed and may be offshore; a CySEC register entry does not establish your account's company or terms. Confirm the company on your application and agreement before depositing.

Is Fusion Markets a scam, or is it legitimate?+

That route remains unconfirmed and may be offshore; a CySEC register entry does not establish your account's company or terms. Confirm the company on your application and agreement before depositing.

Is Fusion Markets available in my country?+

Availability — and the legal entity that onboards you — varies by country (Fusion Markets does not accept US, PR, GU, VI, AS, MP, UM, CA, AF, CG, CD, IR, IQ, JP, MM, NZ, KP, PS, RU, ES, SO, SD, SY, UA, YE). The entity decides your regulator and protection. Use our entity decoder to see which entity may apply to you, and confirm it during signup.

What does it cost to trade with Fusion Markets?+

Typical EUR/USD spread is from 0 pips, plus about $4.5 commission per standard lot, with a $0 minimum deposit. Figures are indicative — confirm current pricing for your account type directly.

How long do withdrawals take at Fusion Markets?+

Typical withdrawal time is Under 1 hour (broker-stated). Actual speed depends on your payment method, identity verification (KYC) and the entity that holds your account. Regulated brokers usually return funds to your original deposit method first.

What leverage does Fusion Markets offer, and is it risky?+

Maximum leverage is around 30:1 on the global entity; retail limits — Australia: up to 30:1. Lower limits apply to some instruments. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses, and most retail CFD accounts lose money — only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Is Fusion Markets available in Canada?+

We treat Canada as unavailable. Fusion's own terms name Ontario residents as restricted, and the Alberta Securities Commission added fusionmarkets.com to its Investment Caution List in February 2026 (not registered in Alberta). Canadian residents should verify registration on CSA/provincial registers before depositing anywhere.

Does Fusion Markets have a minimum deposit?+

No — Fusion's own pages state there is no minimum account size. Small minimums can still come from individual payment providers, and pricing/terms can change: verify on the current account pages before funding.
