Review: Fintrix Markets - Legit or Scam?
Fintrix Markets: what you actually need to know
I spent a couple of weeks investigating Fintrix Markets before writing this up. The short version: it's a relatively new CFD broker out of Mauritius that's built its whole pitch around how trades get filled, not around sign-up bonuses or flashy landing pages.
The first thing I look at with any broker is who's running it. In this case, the leadership comes with proper brokerage experience. They're people who've sat on live desks before choosing to launch a broker. That gives me more confidence than a slick About page ever would.
What stood out
I tried a few things while putting together this review. Here's what held up.
{Fill speed was solid in my testing. I ran several orders during fast-moving conditions and each one filled cleanly. Plenty of brokers falls apart during fast-moving sessions. Fintrix didn't.|Fills were fast during my testing. I specifically placed orders when markets were moving fast to see if the system held up. Everything went through as expected. For anyone who scalps, that matters a lot.
{Their support team passed my late-night test. I messaged them at an odd hour in the middle of the week and got a proper response in under ten minutes. Not a bot, not a template. They work in several languages too, so you're not stuck waiting for the UK team to come online.|I always test broker support at antisocial hours because that's when you actually need it. Their team replied at 1am with a specific answer, not a canned template. Faster than most brokers I've tested, including some bigger names. They also operate in several languages, which is a genuine plus if you're trading from a non-English-speaking country.
The instrument selection covers the standard asset classes: currency pairs, indices, commodities. All accessible from one account with a shared margin setup. It's not the longest instrument list out there, but it covers what most people are realistically trading.
Where they fall short
A few areas aren't quite right, and these are the things I'd flag if I were deciding whether to open an account.
Mauritius FSC regulation is legitimate, but it's offshore. You won't get the £85k FSCS safety net you'd have with an FCA broker, or the comparable EU fund. Your money is held separately from the broker's operating funds, which is a baseline protection, but the fallback just isn't there.
Their fee structure is completely hidden. No published spreads, no commission schedule, no minimum deposit amount listed publicly. You have to reach out and ask, which is annoying when all you want is a quick comparison. I expect they'll fix this as they grow.
The track record is thin. No surprise there given the broker's age. But it means less community feedback to reference. A couple more years of operation would make a real difference here.
Who this broker is actually for
This broker fits webpage traders who prioritise how the backend works over how the brand looks. If you want a well-known platform with tier-1 licensing, there are plenty of established options. Fintrix is for the crowd that checks fill quality, not bonus offers.
If you're new to trading or you're based in a jurisdiction with strong domestic regulatory protections, you're better off with a broker regulated in your home country. The protections are more important than any marginal improvement in order handling.
My overall assessment
3.5 out of 5 from me. The team checks out, the platform held up in testing, and their support is genuinely responsive. The score stays below 4 because of the offshore-only licensing and the hidden fee structure. If those two things get addressed, the rating goes up.
Before you commit real money, run your own tests. Limited funds first, a few trades, one withdrawal. Check the actual costs against what they told you. That's how you test any broker, and Fintrix is no different.
