We plot every flagged operation on the same network map, and Merkanda Markets sits in a cluster our team knows well – a polished front, a scripted onboarding, and a warning record behind it.
Position on the risk map
Merkanda Markets' website provides no verifiable regulatory information, only claiming to be registered in Saint Lucia. While we did locate the company in the Saint Lucia International Financial Centre ( IFC ) registry, this registration merely grants it International Business Company (IBC) status, not a financial services or forex trading license. Importantly, the Saint Lucia IFC does not regulate or authorize forex brokers. Additionally, Merkanda Markets’ website appears incomplete and poorly maintained: several sections are non-functional or cannot be accessed, which is a common red flag among unregulated or fraudulent platforms. Therefore, Merkanda Markets appears to be a scam.
Red flags on the map
- Aggressive outreach through social platforms and messaging apps
- Dashboard balances that cannot be verified on-chain
- Pressure to deposit more in order to unlock earlier deposits
- Appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list
