Previously, WikiFX reported that a South Africa-rooted forex broker, Veracity Markets, has been accused of withdrawal refusal. Many traders lost control of their funds after investing in Veracity Markets. Then FSCA, the South Africa-based regulator decided to suspend Veracity Markets but did not launch an official announcement yet. On July 13, 2022, FSCA finally made a statement about the case of Veracity Markets.

About FSCA

The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) is a South Africa-based regulator. It was established by the South African government to ensure that financial institutions and financial service providers adhere to strict rules of conduct. Its goal is to protect investors' legitimate rights and interests from scammers. FSCA can shut down financial institutions that violate its rules of conduct, so that traders can conduct business in a safe and healthy financial environment. Due to the recent situation of Veracity Markets, it is legal for FSCA to ask Veracity Markets for a complete shutdown.

About Veracity Markets

Founded in 2020, Veracity Markets is an online forex broker based in South Africa. It has two physical addresses: 155 West Street, Sandown, Sandton, 2031, and 80 Strand Street, Cape Town, 8000. According to WikiFX, Veracity Markets is not regulated. The FSPR with license number: 40983 and FSCA with license number: 4701 claimed by this broker are suspicious clones. Thus, WikiFX has given this broker a very low rating of 1.34/10.

The reason why Veracity Markets has been forced to shut down

Recently, Veracity Markets has been accused of withdrawal refusal. Many traders lost control of their funds after investing in Veracity Markets. In addition, some investors expose that this broker has caused severe slippage. Veracity Markets filed for liquidation and bankruptcy last year. This broker is suspected to encourage money to come into its account while limiting money to return back to clients. Thus, due to the notorious reputation of Veracity Markets in recent months, FSCA decided to suspend Veracity Markets.

Statement from Veracity Markets on July 1, 2022

On July 1, Veracity Markets issued a statement on this matter on Facebook. In the statement, Veracity Markets maintained its commitment to complying with FSCA. It claimed to cease conducting any new business immediately.

  • According to this statement from FSCA, FSCA asks Veracity Markets to shut down this business and “pay out to clients all funds owing to them upon request, within seven working days from the date of the request”.

  • In this statement, FSCA points out that Veracity Markets is an appointed juristic representative of Nirvesh Financial Services.

  • FSCA informs the public of a directive issued against Nirvesh Financial service Ltd and its juristic representative, Veracity Markets Ltd. FSCA is investigating Nirvesh Financial Services (Pty) Ltd and Veracity Markets (Pty) Ltd, for conducting unauthorised over-the-counter (OTC) derivative business, and possible breaches of other financial sector laws.

  • FSCA again reminds traders to invest in a broker that has a legitimate license

Conclusion

According to report, Veracity Markets filed for liquidation and bankruptcy last year. We believe that Veracity Markets is not trustworthy at all. Fortunately, FSCA has compelled this broker to refund all clients within 7 days. We are expecting that investors' legitimate rights can eventually be protected.
