“CySEC, under article 37(4) of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission Law of 2009, has the power to reach a settlement for any violation or possible violation, act or omission for which there is reasonable ground to believe that it took place in violation of the provisions of CySECs supervised legislation,” CySEC stated.
Mount Nico Corp gained the Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) license in 2014. It operates two forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) brands under the CIF license, one is eXcentral and the other is NicoFX.
However, the Limassol-headquartered company stopped accepting clients on NicoFX in June 2019, according to a notice on its website. In addition, it warned against several clones of the brand that are trying to dupe potential investors.
The brand eXcentral is operated by Mount Nico Corp only within the European Union. Furthermore, FX offers services internationally under a South African investment firm license, obtained by a local company, which is again owned by another Limassol-based parent firm.
