GCI is an unregulated broker even though it states offers that look too good to be true.
GCI claims to be operated and owned by GCI Financial Limited, an entity registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority (SVG FSA). We do find a match result to GCI in SVG FSA. Nevertheless, SVG FSA does not issue any licenses for forex trading or brokerage nor does it regulate, monitor, supervise or license international companies engaging in such activities. In addition, two professional regulators have issued warnings against this broker, they are:
1) the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), and you can check the full warning here;
2) the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), and you can check the full warning here.
Regarding your question, we would suggest not to trade with GCI since it is an unlicensed broker. Letting this broker hold and control your funds or trading with them is very risky, as there are no safeguards in place to prevent fraud or theft. Therefore, we would recommend staying away from such unlicensed brokers as GCI and trading with fully regulated brokers.
