Zarvista Capital Markets: MT5 accounts, CFD markets, funding and the ZaraFX transition

Zarvista Capital Markets advertises an international MT5 forex and CFD service. Starter, Professional and VIP are the current pricing tiers: the deposit threshold increases while the advertised minimum spread falls. “Professional” is a tariff label here; the account page does not establish a separate regulatory professional-client election.[2]

Registration is followed by identity verification and funding. The website requires clients to be at least 18 and excludes residents of the USA, Mauritius, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Belgium and France, as well as places where distribution would be unlawful. The list is a company eligibility statement, not permission to market in every other country.[3][23]

The current site names Comoros, Mauritius and Cyprus companies with different roles. It does not map each advertised account and service to a contracting company. Account availability and protection therefore need the actual agreement, rather than an assumption that the group’s regulatory claims cover every MT5 account.[23]

A demo provides USD 10,000 of virtual funds and MT5 access. Its page both says registration is unnecessary and includes a registration step, so the access procedure is inconsistent. Demo balances and outcomes do not establish live funding, liquidity or withdrawal performance.[4]

The current product menu is built around currencies, metals, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs. A direct share-dealing account, physical commodity delivery or custody of the underlying cryptocurrency was not established. Instrument availability, trading breaks and margin settings must be checked on the account’s actual MT5 server.[1][6]

Exposure example: at the advertised 1:500 FX ratio, a hypothetical USD 10,000 position requires USD 20 initial margin. A 0.2% adverse price change is also USD 20 before spread, financing and conversion, assuming unchanged conversion rates. This arithmetic illustrates leverage; it does not predict stop-out because the account’s liquidation threshold was not established.[5]

The account tariff is spread-based, with no separate execution commission advertised for all three tiers. The pricing page also publishes long and short swap figures. It omits the unit, lot basis, rollover timestamp and effective date needed to turn those figures into a reliable monetary holding-cost example.[9]

Swap-free versions are advertised for Starter, Professional and VIP, with unchanged spreads and leverage and no overnight swap/rollover charge. The inspected page does not establish a grace period, substitute administration charge, documentary eligibility test or withdrawal of swap-free status. Its all-instrument wording also requires the same entity and product-scope check as the ordinary accounts.[10]

The public cost and funding pages did not establish an inactivity tariff, account-closure trigger or currency-conversion markup. Their absence is not a zero-fee promise. In particular, three available base currencies do not establish that one account holds independent USD, EUR and GBP cash balances.[9][12]

The current platform page provides MT5 downloads for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android and advertises web access. It describes Expert Advisor automation and charting tools. The inspected material did not establish a separate public REST/FIX API, its account permissions or an API withdrawal facility.[11]

Market execution is advertised across the live tiers. Public account specifications inspected did not provide a reliable minimum/maximum order size, stop-distance rule, pending-order expiry policy or margin-call/stop-out percentage. Those limits materially affect orders and liquidation and should be taken from the account and symbol specifications, not from MT5’s generic capabilities.[2]

The funding page says approved withdrawals are processed on the same business day. The FAQ distinguishes bank receipt of 1–3 business days from e-wallet and crypto transfers described as typically immediate. Approval time, payment-provider settlement and the final credit to the recipient are separate stages.[12][3]

A complete withdrawal fee schedule, supported crypto networks, same-source return rule and payment-currency conversion basis were not established. The published deposit channels should not be read as confirmation that every channel supports withdrawals or that intermediary costs are waived.[12]

The company’s regulations page states that client funds are segregated, advertises SSL security and says negative-balance protection covers retail accounts. These are company statements. A current entity-specific agreement establishing exclusions, the bank/custodian arrangement, compensation eligibility or insurance limits was not retrieved.[13]

Mauritius authorisation remains a company claim: the official register did not yield a firm-specific result. A group-level claim does not establish protection for the particular trading contract.[14][13]

The registration FAQ describes uploading identification for verification. Public instructions for recovering an account, enforcing two-factor authentication or imposing a withdrawal hold after a security change were not established. The existence of encryption alone does not answer those account-control questions.[3]

The support page does not identify a dedicated dealing telephone number or an authenticated process for closing positions when the platform is unavailable. Its chat and email routes should therefore be treated as support channels, not confirmed order-execution instructions. A formal complaint deadline and escalation procedure were not established from the current page.[15]

Acuity Trading announced AnalysisIQ integration on 7 November 2024, describing sentiment, technical and trend analysis delivered through MT5, the portal and social channels. This supports an analytics partnership, not authority for AI to place orders, change exposure or withdraw money. The current navigation still links Acuity Signals, but its destination was unavailable during this check; current entitlement and delivery were not tested.[24][1]

The company’s 29 September 2024 announcement changed the brand from ZaraFX to Zarvista Capital Markets and said existing accounts, instruments and support would continue. This establishes a brand transition, not proof of a legal transfer of every client agreement or a change in regulator.[22]

Earlier official material stated that the Mauritius company did not offer crypto CFDs or copy trading. A cached MAM-page version also said it was not accepting clients or distributing MetaTrader; a fresh page no longer contained those statements. Their current effect is unresolved. The present broad marketing should not silently convert those historical limitations into confirmed Mauritius permissions.[22][17]
