VCG Markets: account pricing, Mauritius terms and promotional credit

VCG Markets combines MT5 and a proprietary app with Standard and Premium pricing; its Mauritius agreement and dedicated policies contain material payment, storage-fee and protection qualifications.

Profile scope

Reviewed account terms follow the Mauritius entity; separately disclosed Seychelles and Cyprus companies have different roles.

VCG Markets offers international multi-asset CFD accounts through MetaTrader 5 and its own trading application. This profile follows the Mauritius client agreement currently linked from its legal page. That PDF identifies VCG Markets Ltd and carries internal version 8.1, despite “v2” remaining in its filename. A separately disclosed Seychelles company should not be substituted for the counterparty named in an applicant’s agreement.[2]

The website excludes residents of the United States, Belgium, Canada and Singapore, as well as locations where access would conflict with local requirements. Its international reach is therefore conditional. Country acceptance, payment methods and promotional eligibility need to be determined for the customer’s actual route.[1]

The Premium page also advertises faster service and dedicated account-manager support. Those benefits do not establish a guaranteed execution time or an unconditional instant bank withdrawal. Obtain the account’s actual commission currency and charging side before comparing a spread-plus-commission cost with Standard.[3]

VCG’s AML policy requires identifying the customer and beneficial owner, understanding the relationship and applying ongoing scrutiny, including the source of funds where relevant. A payment can therefore require further evidence even after an initial identity check. Keep the account holder and funding source consistent with the accepted account documents.[17]

Commodities / digital assetsThe current catalogue includes commodities and cryptocurrencies.CFD exposure; no underlying asset purchase is implied.Source 8

The share offer allows long and short exposure across several markets. A share CFD is not registration as the shareholder: voting rights, asset transfer and custody treatment should not be inferred from a company name appearing in the instrument list.[7]

The index page combines a Germany 40 instrument card with older DAX 30 wording in its introduction. Use the actual symbol and contract definition rather than treating these labels as interchangeable. Index price, currency, session and financing can all affect a position even when two providers reference a similar benchmark.[6]

The current FX page exposes columns for price, margin and overnight fees, but retrieved live quote fields did not supply a dependable numeric spread sample. Its displayed zero placeholders should not be treated as observed zero-cost executions. The instrument’s current platform specification is needed for a cash cost estimate.[5]

Commission, financing and storage charges

P/L currency conversionNo fee stated for closing P/L in a differently priced instrument.This does not establish free payment-provider conversion.Source 4

For a complete comparison, calculate spread cost on the intended position size, add commission on the confirmed charging basis, and then add financing for the actual holding period. A minimum spread is a starting quote condition; it is not an average, a guaranteed round-trip cost or a promise about slippage.

The same policy sets USD 5,000 equity as a threshold for permanent conversion to storage-fee conditions. Its overview describes daily checking, while its concluding notices describe minute-by-minute monitoring and swap-enabled conversion. Obtain the actual group, trigger and rate before relying on either description. The policy allows revocation and recovery of charges for misuse.[13]

§10.2.8 permits retroactive swaps for misuse beyond 30-day holdings.[11]

Execution, orders and device access

The execution policy names VCG as principal and sole contractual counterparty, despite the account table’s ECN label. Orders can face slippage, partial fills or rejection; third-party integrations remain the customer’s responsibility.[12]

The execution policy closes highest-margin positions first at stop-out, whereas the agreement specifies largest floating loss first (§5.2.4). Confirm account treatment.[11][12]

VCG Markets Trading AppMobile dealing, configurable price alerts and a demo account.An alert informs the user; it is not itself an order instruction.Source 10

The MT5 page provides installation and account-connection routes. The mobile page describes VCG’s own application separately. Check which account credentials, instrument set and order settings apply on the chosen surface rather than assuming every device reproduces every desktop feature.[9]

§3.14 restricts orders to the platform, including during outages.[11]

During an interruption, report the instrument, ticket, timestamp and intended action. Establish whether the order reached the server before resubmitting, and reconcile pending orders as well as open positions when access returns. A support conversation can document an incident without constituting an accepted trade instruction.

Security-setting changeWithdrawal delay up to seven business days.Source 11
Payment routeOwn-name destination; return through original funding methods proportionately.Source 11

The broad fee page lists deposits and withdrawals as free. This is a broker-fee summary, not a promise to absorb every bank, network or conversion deduction. Obtain the amount the recipient should receive, the available payment currency and any special non-trading withdrawal charge before confirming the transfer.[4]

§11.4: monthly statements emailed on the next month’s first day.[11]

Keep statements alongside deposit confirmations, withdrawal release references and the current tariff. The source currency, conversion rate, instrument P/L and final account-currency result are separate records. A trading report may support tax preparation, but the website expressly says VCG does not give tax advice.[1]

VCG Markets (Seychelles) Ltd — 8438443-1 / SD243Separately disclosed securities dealer.Source 2
VCG Tech Limited — Cyprus HE452446Website operator and payment merchant.Source 2

The FSA directory currently lists VCG Markets (Seychelles) Limited.[21]

The Mauritius licence mapping is company-published; an independently current named FSC register record was not retrieved for this review. This retrieval limit is not an adverse regulatory finding. The Seychelles listing does not resolve the Mauritius entity’s status or replace its agreement.[2]

VCG’s site describes segregation between trader and company funds.[1]

The agreement nevertheless permits third-party/proprietary commingling (§8.1.6). Ordinary stop-out deficits reset under §5.2.5, but §4.10.3 demands shortfall repayment. Obtain written reconciliation.[11]

A balance reset, segregated bookkeeping and an insurance or compensation entitlement address different events. The customer needs the protection wording applicable to the actual legal entity and loss event; an account label or another group company’s licence does not settle that question.

Promotional credit, cash referrals and VCG ONE

Credit is non-withdrawable and requires opt-in for each deposit. Withdrawing credited principal removes related credit proportionately; profit withdrawals do not. Internal transfers count as withdrawals. Stop-out monitoring excludes credit, which can then be removed without reinstatement. Removal can reduce margin and close positions; suspected abuse can trigger profit cancellation or withdrawal review. These are credit terms, not a cash-return guarantee.[14]

The separate Refer a Friend promotion describes a cash reward after a new invitee registers through the personal link, verifies, deposits at least $100 and completes three genuine trades within 30 days. The published document does not specify the reward amount. It limits paid referrals to ten and excludes existing affiliates/introducing brokers.[15]

Qualifying referral rewards are reviewed and credited within 15 days, then may be withdrawn by a verified customer. Rapid transactions solely to trigger a reward can be rejected, and the scheme can be changed or ended. Its cash treatment should not be carried across to the deposit-credit programme.[15]

VCG ONE is a built-in analysis tool described in the company’s January 2026 announcement. It examines the user’s trade history for timing, risk, position sizing and behavioural patterns. A report unlocks after 50 completed trades and includes a Trader Strength Score from 0–1000. The stated purpose is self-review and learning; the announcement leaves the customer in control and does not grant the tool authority to place trades. A behavioural score is not a forecast or a verified return measure.[16]

Document names and payment-merchant continuity

Sections ↑

The linked privacy policy still calls the Cyprus merchant Anttix Consulting Limited and prints HE452446, the same number that the current site attaches to VCG Tech Limited. The reviewed material establishes this naming difference, not an independently verified corporate rename or transfer of the trading agreement. Use the current payment instruction and counterparty documents for an actual transaction.[18]
