What TIOmarkets does

TIOmarkets is a private multi-asset online broker offering retail traders access to forex (70+ currency pairs), stock CFDs, indices, commodities, precious metals, cryptocurrencies, and futures through MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and a proprietary all-in-one mobile trading and investing app launched in July 2026. The platform differentiates on a 0.0-pip Raw spread account, unlimited leverage with no margin requirements on Standard MT5 accounts, and a 30% loyalty deposit bonus up to $3,000, supported by millisecond execution, 24/7 multilingual support, and TradingView chart integration. The company operates across more than 170 countries with 250,000+ accounts opened, structured through five legal entities: T.I.O. Group Holdings Ltd (Cyprus parent), TIO Markets Ltd (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, regulated by Mwali International Services Authority in Comoros), Tio Markets UK Limited (FCA-regulated, FRN 488900, UK clients only), and Trade i.o. Ltd (Seychelles FSA Securities Dealer, SD167). The brand originated from the October 2025 acquisition of British broker Primus Capital Markets Ltd by Trade.io, a Hong Kong-registered cryptocurrency exchange, which supplied both an FCA IFPRU 125k matched principal license and a crypto-funded forex capability (BTC, ETH, LTC, TIOX).

The business model is transaction-based: revenue is generated from variable spreads (0.0 pips on Raw, 0.3 pips on VIP Black, 1.1 pips on Standard, 0.6 pips on Nano), per-lot commissions ($6/lot on Nano and Raw), overnight swap fees, and minor withdrawal inactivity fees. Customer acquisition is product-led growth with a $20 minimum deposit, four-step onboarding, and a tiered account structure anchoring prosumer retail traders (Nano, Standard, Raw, VIP Black), with secondary segments in Islamic swap-free, Copy Trading, and PAMM. Where the UK entity accepts only UK-resident clients, the Saint Vincent and Comoros entities serve higher-leverage and broader-geography retail demand, and the Seychelles entity functions as the global Securities Dealer. The company currently has 101-250 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue.
