The Financial Commission has approved the online brokerage firm VT Markets as its latest member. According to a statement sent to Finance Magnates, this latest authorization followed the surge in demand for independent external dispute resolution services among FX industry participants.

A New Addition to the Financial Commission

VT Markets, a global multi-asset Contracts for Difference (CFDs) broker founded in 2015, joins several other companies approved by the authority. This membership, effective January 30th, 2024, grants VT Markets and its clientele access to a suite of services and benefits, including protection for up to €20,000 per submitted complaint, backed by the Financial Commission's Compensation Fund.

The Financial Commission serves as an impartial 3rd party mediation platform, aiding in resolving disputes between brokerages and their clients when direct agreement proves elusive.

Particularly for participants in CFDs, Forex , and cryptocurrency markets, the commission offers a streamlined resolution process, circumventing the complexities of traditional regulatory channels like arbitration or local court systems.

Facilitating Transparent Dispute Resolution

Originally focused on resolving issues in electronic markets such as Forex, the commission's purview has since expanded to include CFDs, derivatives, and the certification of trading technology platforms. Established as an independent external dispute resolution forum, the Financial Commission offers a recourse for consumers and traders embroiled in disputes with their financial services providers.

Recently, Vittaverse joined the Financial Commission as a member. As of January 18, Vittaverse held the esteemed status of an approved broker member, reinforcing its commitment to fostering a secure and transparent trading environment for its clientele, Finance Magnates reported.

By enrolling new members, the agency aims to bridge the gap between consumers and financial service providers. This fosters trust and accountability within the industry.

Similarly, The Financial Commission welcomed Vida Markets. This firm is a Dubai-based forex and CFDs broker. Its membership in the Financial Commission enables it to access a spectrum of services and benefits, offering support to its traders.
