tiomarkets

TIOmarkets broker is an international forex and CFD brokerage that has been operating since 2019 and is listed in Teagle's data as based in Cyprus. TIOmarkets also serves traders in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and is known for its $20 minimum deposit, Nano account and Islamic accounts. In this overview, we review TIOmarkets based on Teagle's data, with a particular focus on the situation for Iranian users.

What kind of broker is TIOmarkets?

TIOmarkets has about 7 years of history and offers trading in forex, gold, oil, indices, stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities and futures on the MT4 and MT5 platforms; according to Teagle's table, more than 800 instruments are available. Persian-language support, instant verification, cent and ECN accounts, scalping, hedging and news trading are all listed among its Teagle tags. It also supports multiple base currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP and AED.

TIOmarkets licenses and credibility

Teagle's license list shows three active licenses for TIOmarkets:

• UK FCA (No. 488900), active;
• Seychelles FSA (No. SD167), active; an offshore license;
• Mwali (Mohéli) Comoros MISA (No. T2023224), active; offshore and among the weakest tiers of regulation.

According to Teagle's expert assessment, the FCA license applies only to UK clients, and international users are usually placed under the offshore entities in Seychelles or Comoros; so tier-1 regulatory protection does not cover them. To understand this difference, read the article the difference between offshore and onshore brokers .

Does TIOmarkets serve Iranians?

TIOmarkets' official documents state that it does not serve countries under OFAC sanctions, and Iran falls into this category. Despite the Persian-support tag, Teagle's expert considers this broker a "high-caution option" for traders inside Iran due to legal risks and recommends asking support directly whether Iranian users are accepted before opening an account. Note that withdrawals are not processed without verification of identity and address documents. The article brokers banned for Iranians can also help with this decision.

TIOmarkets pros and cons

• Pro: $20 minimum deposit and Nano account
• Pro: copy trading, PAMM and Islamic accounts
• Pro: registered in several jurisdictions, including the FCA
• Con: no official services for OFAC-sanctioned countries such as Iran
• Con: international users fall under offshore licenses, not the FCA
• Con: 5% withdrawal fee on several methods and a monthly inactive account fee

Who is TIOmarkets suitable for?

In the view of Teagle's expert, TIOmarkets suits traders who want competitive spreads, Islamic accounts, a Nano account and crypto deposits, and whose country of residence allows them to legally use its services. Residents of Iran and those who want full tier-1 regulatory coverage are better off choosing another option. For comparison, weigh it up in the TIOmarkets vs Exness comparison .

Conclusion

Technically, TIOmarkets offers solid features, but the OFAC restriction and the placement of international users under offshore licenses make it high-risk for Iranian users. If you plan to use it, ask support whether Iranians are accepted, start with a small amount, make a test withdrawal and follow the investment risk warnings .
