ZERO Markets review & overview
Trading platforms, account options and markets.
Brazil’s CVM ordered six named ZERO Markets entities to halt public securities-intermediation offers on 22 November 2024. Its notice states that they lacked CVM authorisation to intermediate securities or solicit investment funds in Brazil. This is an official stop order, not a customer rumour. Mauritius, New Zealand and Australian company permissions are separate regional records.

ZERO Markets: assessment
Our assessment of this broker, across five categories.
Five categories. One total.
Regulation
2.4/ 20CVM states that the six named entities lacked Brazilian authorisation and ordered an immediate halt to public securities-intermediation offers under Ato Declaratório 22.733. FactFX applies a severe regulatory-compliance deduction. Separate Mauritius and New Zealand licence records do not authorise the Brazilian offers.
Risk management
1.9/ 20The CVM stop order and the later Brazilian proceedings weigh heavily against cross-border distribution controls in this editorial review. This deduction concerns market-access compliance; it is not a claim that published margin rules or client-money arrangements have failed.
Customer support
16.8/ 20The website provides 24/5 support, account help and platform resources across desktop, web and mobile access.
Trading costs
17.6/ 20Standard and Super ZERO account schedules separate spreads and commissions, with published forex spread examples. Share and ETF commissions have separate schedules.
Reputation
0.8/ 20The November 2024 Brazilian stop order is a material adverse public record. CVM rejected the June 2026 settlement proposal by Zero Markets LLC, Zero Securities PTY LTD and Zero Financial LTD. FactFX assigns a severe reputation deduction for these records; rejection of a settlement is not a fraud conviction.
