Quant Tekel: CFD brokerage accounts, platform choices and regional access

Quant Tekel advertises FX and multi-asset CFDs through a South African brokerage, separate from QT Funded challenges. Account-tier pricing is published, but several FAQ and product figures conflict.

Accounts and headline costs

Sections ↑

Quant Tekel’s brokerage notice limits CFD services to permitted clients in Africa and Asia and excludes the UK, EU and United States. This profile covers that live-brokerage offer, checked on 20 October 2026. QT Funded evaluation purchases are a separate service.[3]

The FAQ dated 17 June 2025 instead gives a $100 minimum and 1:100 maximum leverage, with one trading account per client. These differences remain unresolved; approved leverage still needs instrument-specific confirmation.[2]

No complete swap calendar or inactivity tariff was established. The service terms’ inactivity section concerns KYC approval, not a timed monthly fee. Unknown charges are not zero.[12]

Execution and trading rules

Sections ↑

The forex page describes STP routing and permits scalping, news trading, hedging and Expert Advisors without a minimum holding period. Its speed and liquidity-provider figures are company claims without an independently inspected measurement method. Published leverage ranges within that page also conflict, so they do not resolve account-specific margin.[4]

The platform pages establish available order types but not broker-specific order-count limits, stop/freeze distances or a complete liquidation hierarchy. A platform stop or trailing feature alone does not establish guaranteed execution or continued automation when a device disconnects.[9][10]

Deposits, withdrawals and transfers

Homepage payment descriptions

Cards / PaytikoInstant processing advertised.Source 1
Bank wire / cryptocurrency1–2 business days / within one hour.Source 1
Withdrawal requestSame-day processing before 12:00 GMT; no broker withdrawal fee above $100.Source 1

The FAQ expressly describes cryptocurrency and bank-wire deposits and withdrawals; it does not confirm card/Paytiko availability in both directions. Country, verification, payment route and account limits need checking before funding.[2]

Protection and regulation

Sections ↑

The broker publishes FSP number 53227. The FSCA search form was reached, but a readable current firm-specific record and detailed permissions were not obtained. The company’s FSP assertion is therefore unverified in this reference; it is not treated as independent confirmation of a CFD-issuer permission.[3][15]

Product pages claim segregated bank accounts. The stock page mentions negative-balance protection; the brokerage risk notice also says losses can exceed the initial deposit. The applicable contractual scope of that protection was not established.[8][13]

No inspected insurance certificate established either an individual payout limit or a shared aggregate. Segregation and the company’s regulatory claim should not be read as evidence of an insured trading balance.[13]

Opening an account and support

Sections ↑

The FAQ offers virtual-money demos. Service terms dated 23 June 2025 treat accounts without the latest approved KYC as inactive and say pre-verification trades and profits are invalid. Verification status therefore matters before relying on account access or profits.[2][12]

The FAQ describes support as 24/6, closed Saturdays; that availability is company-published. The complaint page provides a form without a distinct acknowledgement/final-response timetable or verified external-redress route. No separately authorised outage dealing channel was established.[2][14]

Additional services

Sections ↑

FIX API is advertised with a $5,000 entry deposit, no monthly fee and no volume requirement. Public documentation does not define access permissions, revocation, rate limits or treatment of existing orders.[1]

Trading Central signals are advertised free for Prime and Elite accounts, although the account table calls the middle tier Plus. Current eligibility for that tier therefore needs clarification. The site also lists educational courses, analysis and webinars.[1]

Company background and separate businesses

Sections ↑

Registration 2021/321922/07 and a Gatesville, Cape Town address are published. The About page dates the brand to 2024; incorporation history was not independently confirmed.[3]

QT Funded’s disclosure assigns simulated evaluations to Quant Tekel LLC, 3984 LLC 2025, in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Challenge payments are fees, not brokerage deposits.[16]

The brokerage footer still names a UK challenge-fee payment agent; QT Funded’s current disclosure names Cyprus company QT Treasury Limited. That difference does not establish any transfer of brokerage accounts.[16][13]

The inspected service terms address website purchases and interruptions. They do not supply a complete account-specific CFD agreement, tariff or withdrawal-security procedure.[12]
