Raze Global Markets Review 2026

Raze Global Markets is a retail forex and CFD brand launched in 2023. Its website identifies Raze Global Markets Ltd as a Saint Lucia company, registration 2023-00261, and separately markets Raze Markets South Africa (Pty) Ltd as FSCA FSP 53229. The UK FCA currently lists RazeMarkets/razemarkets.com as an unauthorised firm and says consumers should avoid dealing with it. Saint Lucia company registration is not treated as a forex-broker licence.

Raze Global Markets Ltd publishes Saint Lucia registration 2023-00261 and a registered address at Ground Floor, The Sotheby Building, Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet. Raze also states that Raze Markets South Africa (Pty) Ltd, company registration 2021/321898/07, is licensed by the FSCA under FSP 53229. The FSCA's official FSP search was checked, but this run did not obtain an independently reviewable current register result tying 53229 to the Raze entity, so that authorisation remains a broker claim rather than independently verified rating credit.

The main strengths are a broad first-party product/tool set including MetaTrader 5, proprietary Raze Trader, more than 1,000 marketed CFDs, VPS hosting, Acuity signal tools, social/copy trading, crypto/stock/forex CFD pages and multiple card, bank-wire and crypto funding methods.

For active comparison purposes, the most important concrete advantages are Raze markets raw spreads from 0.0 pips, but current pages do not present one stable universal account schedule. The English/ZA pages show Starter through VIP tiers with spreads from 2.0 to 0.8 pips and a Trader+ commission shown only as $4 without a clearly stated unit; the Arabic account page separately advertises Raw from 0.0 with $3.50 per side. These figures are reported as page-specific rather than normalised into one rate. and MetaTrader 5 and the proprietary Raze Trader are live first-party offerings. The ZA site labels cTrader as 'coming soon', so this review does not count cTrader as currently available. VPS and social/copy-trading tooling are also marketed..

The main drawbacks are the FCA has an active unauthorised-firm warning for RazeMarkets/razemarkets.com; Saint Lucia registration 2023-00261 is corporate registration rather than a verified forex/CFD supervisory licence; the South Africa FSP 53229 claim was not independently confirmed from a current FSCA register result in this run; and current first-party pages materially conflict on account types, minimum deposits, commissions and support hours.

A prospective client should also account for jurisdiction differences: The site explicitly excludes residents of the United States, Singapore, China and North Korea and jurisdictions on FATF, OFAC and EU/UN sanctions lists. It does not provide a verified Belgian/EEA investment-firm serving route. Belgian consumers must not receive an Open Account CTA for Raze leveraged OTC forex/CFDs because the route is unverified for Belgium and the FSMA prohibits electronic distribution of leveraged OTC CFDs and rolling-spot forex to consumers.

The current ZA/home pages advertise a $50 welcome bonus, a 100% deposit bonus and other tier/account bonuses. These are promotional claims subject to terms and jurisdiction; they are not client protection and they do not increase the rating. Bonus availability should be checked against the contracting entity and local law before funding.

Key 2026 highlights include more than 1,000 marketed CFDs; over 100 marketed FX pairs; MT5 plus Raze Trader; leverage advertised up to 1:1000 on some tiers; card/bank-wire/crypto funding; VPS, Acuity signals and Raze Social Trading; alongside a material FCA unauthorised-firm warning that dominates the safety assessment. These are more useful than marketing slogans because they directly affect pricing, market access, platform capability or client protection.

Raze says it launched in 2023 and that its team has more than 40 years of combined brokerage, fund-management, proprietary-trading and technology experience. The reviewed authoritative sources do not identify a founder whose identity and role could be independently verified, so no founder is invented.

The safety record is materially negative. The UK FCA currently lists RazeMarkets/razemarkets.com as an unauthorised firm and says consumers should avoid dealing with it; customers would not have FOS or FSCS protection when dealing with the warned unauthorised firm. Raze Global Markets Ltd is registered in Saint Lucia as 2023-00261, but Saint Lucia FSRA material shows that incorporation is not a forex/securities licence. The broker separately claims Raze Markets South Africa (Pty) Ltd is FSCA FSP 53229; this run checked the official FSCA search but did not obtain an independently reviewable current match, so the claim is not upgraded to verified regulator status.

Raze Markets does not currently have a clean, independently verified regulator set that we can present as ordinary multi-jurisdiction authorisation. The UK Financial Conduct Authority currently lists RazeMarkets/razemarkets.com as an unauthorised firm and says consumers should avoid dealing with it. This is a warning relationship, not an FCA licence; customers dealing with the warned firm would not have the normal Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS protections described by the FCA.

Raze Global Markets Ltd is registered in Saint Lucia under number 2023-00261. That is company-registration context and is not treated as a retail forex/CFD supervisory licence. Raze separately states that Raze Markets South Africa (Pty) Ltd is an FSCA-authorised financial services provider under FSP 53229 and publishes South African company registration 2021/321898/07 at 48 Dan Pienaar Circle, Plumstead, Cape Town. We could not retrieve an authoritative current FSCA result tying FSP 53229 to the Raze legal entity. More importantly, current WhiteRock material claims the same FSP 53229, the same company registration 2021/321898/07 and the same address for WhiteRock Brokers, while LEI data validated against South Africa's Companies and Intellectual Property Commission identifies registration 2021/321898/07 as WHITEROCK BROKERS. That creates a material unresolved legal-identity inconsistency. We therefore retain the Raze FSCA relationship only as an unverified authorisation claim and do not call it a verified Raze licence. This evidence does not by itself justify a fraud/scam label.

South Africa remains status unknown with account_opening false until the exact current FSCA entity, permissions and relationship to the Raze brand are resolved. Belgium is unavailable for the reviewed leveraged OTC forex/CFD proposition because no Belgian/EEA serving investment firm was verified and Belgian FSMA product restrictions apply. The United Kingdom is unavailable while the FCA unauthorised-firm warning remains current. No Open Account CTA is shown for those unsuitable or unresolved routes.

No current material award with an authoritative issuer, title and date was verified in the reviewed source set. Marketing awards, if later found, should not outweigh the regulatory warning and receive no safety credit.

Raze is a retail OTC forex/CFD broker. Some pages market ECN access, deep liquidity, direct market access or institutional-grade execution, but the reviewed evidence does not establish a regulator-supervised universal agency/STP/ECN execution model. Those terms are therefore treated as marketing/account labels, not a legal execution-model fact.

The current legal/site footer publishes support@razemarkets.com and +44 20 8068 0696. The FCA warning lists the same website and contact context. Use only verified official/regulator channels for due diligence; a UK telephone number does not mean FCA authorisation.

The Saint Lucia company publishes Ground Floor, The Sotheby Building, Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia. The ZA footer separately gives Raze Markets South Africa (Pty) Ltd an address at 48 Dan Pienaar Circle, Plumstead, Cape Town, Western Cape 7800. Marketing material also says the group has offices in the UK, Dubai, South Africa, Uzbekistan and Cyprus, but office presence is not regulatory authorisation.

The 'Why Raze' page advertises 24/5 dedicated support, while account tables on the home/ZA pages show 24/7 support on at least one tier. Because the current first-party disclosures conflict, this review does not promise universal 24/7 availability. Email and telephone contact are published.

Starter/upper account marketing includes daily market reviews, trading e-books/video tutorials, one-on-one training, seminars and strategy sessions on selected tiers. The current source set does not establish an independent structured accredited curriculum; these are broker-provided educational/marketing resources.

The reviewed primary pages do not provide a sufficiently explicit current universal hedging-position policy. Raze's liquidity/ECN/STP marketing is not enough to infer that client positions are externally hedged one-for-one or that hedging is permitted on every account, so this remains unverified.

The current footer explicitly excludes residents of the United States, Singapore, China and North Korea and jurisdictions on FATF, OFAC and EU/UN sanctions lists, while also requiring users to comply with local law. No generic global-page presence is used to infer country availability. Belgium is marked unavailable/no CTA because no verified Belgian/EEA serving route exists and Belgian leveraged-OTC distribution restrictions apply.

Raze Global Markets is best suited to This review does not positively recommend Raze to ordinary retail users while the FCA unauthorised-firm warning is active and the exact supervisory status of the claimed South Africa route has not been independently resolved. Its platform/tool set may be useful for comparison research, but regulation/entity verification should come first.

Raze Global Markets is a weaker fit for UK users relying on FCA authorisation, anyone requiring FSCS/FOS protection, Belgian retail consumers seeking leveraged OTC forex/CFDs, residents in explicitly excluded countries, or clients who require one clearly verified legal entity, stable account schedule and top-tier regulatory protection

Trader+ marketing advertises cashback rebates up to 25%, and current pages advertise deposit bonuses. Exact eligibility, calculation, withdrawal restrictions and jurisdiction availability were not verified as universal terms, so no fixed rebate value is assumed and no rating benefit is assigned.

Current first-party pages conflict materially. The English/ZA pages show Starter ($250, spreads from 2.0, up to 1:400), Trader ($2,500, 1.8, up to 1:1000), Trader+ ($10,000, 1.4, up to 1:500), Premium ($50,000, 1.0, up to 1:500) and VIP ($200,000+, 0.8, up to 1:300), plus a separate Pro block showing $500 and 0.8. The Arabic account page instead advertises Standard, Raw and Cent from $50, with Raw from 0.0 and $3.50 per side. The review preserves both localized configurations instead of inventing a single canonical account menu.

To open a live account, The site presents online account creation and funding, but this review does not provide an Open Account recommendation. Applicants must first establish that their country is eligible and identify the exact contracting entity and current regulator permissions. For Belgium the CTA is disabled; for UK consumers the FCA warning is material. The broker must complete identity, residency and suitability/appropriateness checks before regulated products are enabled.

Raze currently promotes a free/risk-free demo route and the ZA site has a 'Try demo' path. Demo balances are simulated and do not establish live-account eligibility, regulatory protection, execution quality or withdrawal reliability.

Raze Global Markets is not a proprietary-trading challenge, so there are no 'trading objectives' whose breach automatically terminates a funded challenge. Normal account restrictions instead come from margin rules, product permissions, suitability checks and the client agreement.

The FCA states that users dealing with the warned unauthorised firm would not have Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS protection. A Starter account marketing block says 'Negative Balance Protection', but the review did not verify a legal document making NBP universal across every Raze entity/account. No statutory compensation scheme or independently verified universal segregated-funds commitment was established for the reviewed Saint Lucia route.

Raze publishes AML/legal documentation links, but the reviewed current public pages do not expose a sufficiently complete authoritative KYC document checklist to state one universal set of required documents. Identity/residency verification should be expected for financial-account onboarding, but exact requirements remain unverified rather than invented.

The current deposit-method page advertises Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, international bank wire, Bitcoin, USDT and USDC and says Raze does not add deposit/withdrawal fees. It also displays additional card brands/currencies. The public market pages describe a withdrawal flow from the account portal but do not provide a verified universal processing SLA or return-to-source hierarchy, so neither is invented.

Published methods include Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, international bank wire, Bitcoin, USDT and USDC; the page also displays Maestro, Amex and JCB. Card base currencies shown include EUR, GBP and USD for Visa/Mastercard, with other currencies on selected providers. The broker recommends matching deposit and account base currency to reduce conversion costs.

There is no reliable single current minimum. The 'Why Raze' page says $50; deposit methods says instant deposits start at $50; the crypto/market page says minimum deposits from $10; English account tiers start at $250; and the Arabic Standard/Raw/Cent page shows $50. This contradiction is explicit and reduces finance confidence.

The public funding page says a range of deposit and withdrawal methods is available and markets card, bank-wire and crypto payment rails. The reviewed evidence does not clearly map every deposit method to an eligible withdrawal method or state a universal return-to-source rule, so the review does not invent one.

Current market pages show a simple portal flow: sign in, choose the withdrawal method/amount, submit the withdrawal and receive confirmation. No authoritative universal processing-time SLA was found in the reviewed public sources, so 'fast withdrawals' is treated as marketing rather than a guaranteed time.

No profit, withdrawal-success rate, idle-funds interest outcome or copy-trading return is guaranteed. The VIP page markets 10% annual interest on idle funds, but this unusually material claim was not supported by a separately verified regulated deposit/investment agreement in the reviewed source set and receives no safety or return assumption.

Current English account blocks show zero commission on Starter/Trader/Premium/VIP and a $4 Trader+ commission without a stated unit; a separate Arabic Raw account states $3.50 per side. Spreads shown vary by tier from 2.0 to 0.8 pips, while other pages market 0.0 raw spreads. Deposit/withdrawal fees are advertised as $0. Swap-free accounts are marketed, but no universal overnight-financing schedule was verified.

Raze markets OTC leveraged trading across forex, stock CFDs, cryptocurrency CFDs, commodities, indices and metals. The site says there are more than 1,000 CFDs and over 100 forex pairs. These are derivative exposures; stock/crypto pages do not establish direct custody ownership.

MetaTrader 5 and proprietary Raze Trader are currently marketed. cTrader is explicitly labelled 'coming soon' on the ZA page and therefore is not counted as a live platform. VPS hosting, an economic calendar and the Acuity signal centre are additional tools.

First-party pages market 1,000+ CFDs across forex, stocks, crypto, commodities, indices and metals, including 100+ FX pairs. Instrument counts are marketing totals and may differ by legal entity/account; the review does not infer direct shares, ETFs, listed options or listed futures from CFD pages.

The current public pages market MT5 and proprietary Raze Trader but do not publish a stable universal list of production server names or independently audited latency/execution metrics. Clients should use server details supplied in their authenticated account, not a hard-coded review value.

The site markets multi-currency accounts and funding in several currencies, including EUR, GBP and USD on major cards and additional currencies on selected providers. A complete authoritative list of trading-account base currencies by entity/tier was not verified, so funding currencies are not presented as universal account base currencies.

Raze's trading page offers cryptocurrency CFDs rather than verified direct coin custody. Separately, Bitcoin, USDT and USDC are advertised as funding methods. Crypto CFD exposure and crypto payment rails are distinct and neither establishes a regulated spot-crypto custody service.

The site advertises leverage up to 1:1000, but it varies materially by tier: Starter up to 1:400, Trader up to 1:1000, Trader+/Premium up to 1:500 and VIP up to 1:300 on the current English/ZA blocks; localized Standard/Cent pages also advertise up to 1:1000. High leverage magnifies losses and is not evidence of quality.

Trader+, Premium and VIP marketing describes leverage as flexible, but the reviewed sources do not document a universal self-service leverage-change workflow or eligibility formula. Any change should be confirmed in the authenticated account/entity terms.

Current English tier blocks show starting spreads from 2.0, 1.8, 1.4, 1.0 and 0.8 pips depending on account, while marketing and the localized Raw account claim spreads from 0.0. These are advertised starting points, not guaranteed executable spreads across all markets/sessions.

No current authoritative Raze page in the reviewed source set verified a formal MAM or PAMM allocation service with manager/investor legal terms. Raze Social Trading exists, but it is not relabelled as MAM/PAMM.

Raze markets free VPS hosting specifically for expert advisers and MT5 automated trading. That supports EA use on at least the promoted setup, but exact strategy restrictions and execution rules remain subject to current account/legal terms.

Raze currently markets 'Raze Social Trading' as a way to connect with and copy leading traders. Copy/social trading adds provider and execution risk; no performance is guaranteed, and its availability must be checked for the user's entity/jurisdiction.
