FMA Warning

Is NZ Capital Markets a Scam?

NZ Capital Markets was flagged by FMA (New Zealand) on 2024. Cited reason: Unauthorized financial services provider.

What this warning means

New Zealand's Financial Markets Authority (FMA) warns against unregistered financial service providers offering derivatives — including forex and CFD trading — to New Zealand residents.

How to protect yourself

  • Verify any broker's license number directly on the regulator's own public register — never rely on a logo or claim shown on the firm's own website.
  • Watch for "clone firm" tactics: copying the name, address, or license number of a real regulated broker.
  • Never wire funds, send crypto, or share remote-access software with a firm you cannot verify on an official regulator register.
  • Use our Scam Broker Protect tool to check a name against our full watchlist before you deposit.

Frequently asked questions

NZ Capital Markets was flagged by FMA (New Zealand) on 2024. That warning means it is not shown as authorized to provide the financial services it offers in the jurisdiction that warning covers. Always verify a firm's license directly on the regulator's own register before depositing.

Stop sending further funds, keep records of all communications and transactions, and report the firm to the regulator that issued the warning (FMA (New Zealand)) as well as your local financial regulator and, if a bank transfer or card was used, your bank or card issuer. Our /scam-broker-protect tool lists reporting contacts for major regulators.

This page reflects a warning entry compiled from public regulatory warning lists and industry watchlists: FMA (New Zealand), dated 2024. We do not independently investigate every entity beyond what the regulator has published — always check the regulator's own live register for the current status.

Many entities on regulator warning lists are "clone firms" that copy the name, branding, or website of a genuinely licensed broker to confuse traders. If you were expecting to deal with a well-known regulated broker, verify you are on that broker's official, regulator-listed domain before depositing.
