About Centaur500 Corp
Who is Centaur500 Corp?
Centaur500 Corp is a corporate entity registered in the Bahamas, with its official address at 209 & 210 Church Street, Sandyport Business Plaza, Nassau. According to our records, the company was founded on 14 November 2022, making it a relatively young participant in the financial services space. The firm lists a single licence with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under a Market Making (MM) permission, though the status of that licence is not specified in our files.
We note that the company reports zero employees on record, and our independent checks found no verifiable website or social-media presence. This combination of factors — a recent incorporation, an offshore base, and a lack of public footprint — means that independent information about the firm's actual operations is extremely limited. For a trader, this absence of transparency is itself a significant consideration.
Regulatory status and licensing
Centaur500 Corp holds a single FCA licence, reference number 434413, for Market Making (MM) activities in the United Kingdom. The FCA is a well-respected regulator, and holding a licence from it would normally indicate a degree of oversight. However, we must stress that the licence status is listed as '—' in our records, meaning we cannot confirm whether it is currently active, suspended, or lapsed.
Our records also indicate that the company is registered in the Bahamas, a jurisdiction known for lighter regulatory oversight compared to major financial centres. While the Bahamas has its own regulatory framework, the combination of an offshore registration and an FCA licence with unclear status warrants caution. We were unable to verify the licence against the public register, and we advise traders to do their own due diligence before engaging with this firm.
Account types and minimum deposits
Centaur500 Corp offers six distinct account tiers, ranging from a TRIAL account with a minimum deposit of €250 to a PRESTIGE account requiring €1,000,000. The other tiers — CLASSIC, GOLD, PLATINUM, and VIP — sit in between, with minimum deposits of €1,000, €25,000, €100,000, and €500,000 respectively. This tiered structure is typical of brokers that aim to cater to both retail and high-net-worth clients.
Maximum leverage also varies by tier, from a conservative 1:3 on the TRIAL account up to 1:200 on the PRESTIGE account. Notably, our records do not list any spread or commission figures for any account type, nor do they specify the trading instruments offered. This lack of detail makes it difficult to assess the cost structure or the range of markets available, which is a further limitation for potential clients.
Deposit and withdrawal methods
Our records do not contain any information on deposit or withdrawal methods for Centaur500 Corp. This is a significant gap, as a broker's funding options are a practical concern for any trader. Without this information, we cannot confirm whether the firm supports bank transfers, credit/debit cards, e-wallets, or other common methods.
Similarly, we have no details on the instruments available for trading. While the account structure and leverage suggest a focus on forex and CFDs, we cannot confirm this from the available data. We recommend that any prospective client seek clarity on these points directly from the broker, though the lack of a verifiable website makes such inquiries challenging.
Risk considerations
FXCanary's risk assessment assigns Centaur500 Corp a Scam Risk Score of 49 out of 100, which we classify as 'Guarded'. This score reflects two primary risk flags: the company's registration in the Bahamas, which is an offshore jurisdiction with lighter oversight, and the absence of a verifiable website or social-media presence. Both factors reduce the level of transparency available to potential clients.
We found no clone or impersonator sites associated with this broker, which is a positive sign, but the overall lack of public information is concerning. Traders should approach this firm with caution and conduct thorough due diligence before committing any funds. The absence of independent reviews or verifiable operational details means that the true nature of the business remains unclear.
