Frequently Asked Questions
No. IMC Capital falsely claims to hold CySEC and ASIC licences. Both regulators have confirmed they have not authorised the firm. Always verify regulatory status directly on the official CySEC and ASIC registers.
Visit the official register of each claimed regulator - for CySEC this is cysec.gov.cy, for ASIC it is connectonline.asic.gov.au. Search for the firm by name and compare the licence number they provide. If the details do not match, the claim is fraudulent.
Stop all further deposits and report the firm to the FCA and BaFin using their online reporting tools. Contact your bank immediately to dispute payments. Preserve all evidence including account statements and communications.
