TIO Markets offers a four-tier structure ranging from Nano and Standard accounts that can be opened with 20 dollars to the Raw account with raw spreads starting from 250 dollars; all operate on MT4 and MT5. The client dashboard is simple and fast, with crypto deposits and withdrawals completed within minutes. The unlimited leverage offered on the Standard account is a rare feature in the industry — and for the same reason, a feature that must be used carefully. The structural point to know is this: accounts opened from Turkey are linked to the group's offshore company in Comoros, not to the FCA-regulated UK or CySEC-regulated Cyprus company — which is what limits its regulation score.
TIO Markets is licensed by MISA (Komorlar) and SVG (yalnızca şirket kaydı). None of these are Tier-1 authorities (FCA, ASIC, CySEC, DFSA or Central Bank of Ireland) — offshore regulators generally carry lighter capital requirements and do not have an investor compensation scheme behind them, so before depositing money into a live account, it is worth weighing this alongside the strengths below. TIO Markets operates through three separate legal entities, and which entity you sign an agreement with determines your account's level of protection. TIO Markets UK Ltd — England and Wales company registration no 06592025, FCA reference no 488900; offers FSCS protection up to 85,000 pounds for eligible retail clients and serves only UK clients. TIO Markets CY Ltd — Cyprus company registration no HE399709, CySEC license no 429/23; serves European Economic Area clients. TIO Markets Ltd — Mwali International Services Authority (Comoros) license no T2023224, also registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under registration number 24986 IBC 2018; this company is the group's non-EU entity operating via tiomarkets.com. Since Turkey is outside both the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area, accounts opened from here are assigned to this offshore entity rather than the FCA or CySEC regulated entity; therefore, FSCS protection and the CySEC compensation fund do not apply to an account in Turkey. The MISA license is a genuine registration regime, but it is not supervision at the level of the FCA or CySEC. Be sure to check which entity the agreement is signed with when opening an account. Additionally: the FCA issued tiomarkets-trading.com and tiopremarkets.com as clone firm warnings mimicking the TIO name. These are not TIO Markets' own websites — confirm the accuracy of the website address when opening an account.

TIO Markets operates through three legal entities: TIO Markets UK Ltd (UK registration 06592025, FCA reference 488900, FSCS protection up to 85,000 pounds for eligible clients), TIO Markets CY Ltd (Cyprus HE399709, CySEC license 429/23), and TIO Markets Ltd (Mwali International Services Authority, Comoros, license T2023224; also registered in SVG as 24986 IBC 2018). The critical distinction is this: since Turkey is outside both the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area, an account opened from here is linked not to the FCA- or CySEC-regulated entity, but to the offshore entity in Comoros — meaning FSCS protection and the CySEC compensation fund do not apply to your account. MISA is a real licensing regime, but it is not supervision at the FCA/CySEC level. Additionally, the FCA has placed the addresses tiomarkets-trading.com and tiopremarkets.com on its warning list as clone firms impersonating the TIO name; these are not TIO's own websites. When opening an account, check both the address and which entity the contract is signed with.

Yes, but only on the Standard account. On Nano, Raw, and VIP Black accounts, leverage goes up to 1:500 upon request. It is necessary to state clearly what unlimited leverage means: margin requirements practically disappear, meaning you can open positions much larger than your balance allows. This magnifies losses just as much as profits and removes the natural brake that limits position size. A single adverse move in a small account can wipe out the balance. Unlimited leverage is an opportunity, not a strategy — set position size not according to leverage, but according to the amount you can afford to lose.
There are four account types. Nano: 20 dollars minimum, spread from 0,6 pips, 6 dollars commission per lot per round turn, MT5 only. Standard: 20 dollars minimum, spread from 1,1 pips, no commission, MT4 and MT5 — this is the only account type eligible for unlimited leverage. Raw: 250 dollars minimum, spread from 0.0 pips, 6 dollars commission per lot per round turn, MT4 and MT5. VIP Black: 1,000 dollars minimum, spread from 0,3 pips, no commission, MT4 and MT5. For someone wanting to start small and lower costs, the logical progression is to move from Standard to Raw; the commission on Raw only offsets the spread difference when your trading volume increases.
Deposit and withdrawal transactions made with cryptocurrency are completed within minutes — this is the timeframe observed by FXPARTNER on its own account. Times on the bank and card side vary depending on the method and intermediary bank; we do not share an independently verified timeframe for these. As with any broker, account verification (KYC) must be completed prior to withdrawal.
No — TIO Markets does not have a Capital Markets Board (SPK) license and is not an investment institution based in Turkey. Accounts opened from Turkey are linked to the group's offshore company in Comoros. This is not unique to TIO Markets: almost all international brokers on the list operate with the same structure. Still, the meaning is clear — SPK's investor protection mechanisms do not apply to these accounts, and in a dispute, your counterparty is a company registered in Comoros.
