Marshall Islands is notorious for its practically absent requirements and regulations. Due to the setup cost is low and it does not regulate forex trading. Therefore, it became an offshore zone for shady forex brokers such as MegaTradeFX, ProFxPremium and more.
Moreover, FSMSmart has been blacklisted by Swiss FINMA and New Zealand’s FMA, which stated that FSM is making false and misleading claims that they are a registered financial service provider in New Zealand when they are not and also FSM is making unsolicited calls to New Zealand residents and offering to trade in financial products, such activities are prohibited in New Zealand.
