Go Markets International Ltd Account Types & How to Open

Go Markets International Ltd is the Seychelles-registered entity of the GO Markets group, operating from the domain int.gomarkets.com. In our records the company is licensed by the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles as a Securities Dealer, with the licence status shown as Licensed. The Seychelles register does not publish licence numbers, so we cannot quote one from our files; if the broker's own documentation cites a number, that is its claim rather than an independently verifiable fact.

This is an offshore entity with light oversight, and our FXCanary Scam Risk Score stands at 40/100 (Guarded). Two flags are attached: registration in Seychelles, which typically means a less stringent regulatory regime, and the absence of a verifiable website or social-media presence for this specific entity. That second flag is worth pausing on — the group's main site, gomarkets.com, is well established, but the international arm's own footprint is thin. For a trader, the practical question is not whether the group exists, but which legal entity holds your account and what protections apply to it.

The GO Markets group advertises four main account types on its public site: Standard, GO Plus+, Micro, and GO Professional. These are described for the group as a whole, and we have no evidence that the Seychelles entity offers a different set. The Standard account is positioned as a straightforward, commission-free option with spreads from 0.8 pips and leverage up to 500:1. GO Plus+ is aimed at high-volume and algorithmic traders, with spreads from 0.0 pips and a commission of US$2.50 per side on a standard FX lot.

The Micro account is the entry-level tier, with a minimum deposit of US$10, no commission, and leverage up to 500:1 — clearly designed for beginners or those testing the waters with small capital. GO Professional is by application only, with selective criteria, advanced tools, increased leverage, and personalised support. There is also a swap-free Islamic account for traders who cannot receive or pay swaps. These are the group's own descriptions; we have not independently verified the live spreads or the exact commission schedule, and the figures should be treated as indicative.

In our reading, the Standard account is the sensible default for a retail trader who wants simplicity and predictable costs. The absence of a commission makes it easy to calculate the cost of a trade, and the 0.8-pip spread from is competitive for a commission-free structure, though not the tightest on the market. The GO Plus+ account, with its raw spreads from 0.0 pips and a per-side commission, is better suited to active traders and those running expert advisors, where the lower spread can more than offset the commission over many trades.

The Micro account is the most accessible, with a US$10 minimum deposit, and it is a reasonable place to start if you are new to trading or want to test a strategy with minimal risk. The GO Professional tier is for sophisticated traders who meet selective criteria — it is not something a typical retail client would apply for. The swap-free Islamic account addresses a specific religious requirement, and it is a thoughtful inclusion for traders in jurisdictions where receiving or paying interest is not permitted.

The group advertises leverage up to 500:1 across several account types. That is a high ratio, and it carries significant risk of rapid loss, especially for retail traders. Under the Seychelles regulatory framework, there is no mandatory leverage cap of the kind imposed by ESMA in Europe or ASIC in Australia, so the broker is able to offer this level. For a trader, 500:1 means that a 0.2% adverse move in a currency pair can wipe out the entire margin on a position — a sobering thought.

We would caution that high leverage is not a feature to be used casually. It amplifies both gains and losses, and the combination of offshore registration and high leverage is a classic recipe for account blow-ups. If you are considering this broker, we recommend using leverage conservatively, and being fully aware that the Seychelles entity does not offer the same investor protections as a Tier-1 regulated entity. The group's own materials note that the safety ceiling depends on which entity holds your account, and that is a point we echo.

The group's public materials state that spreads start from 0.0 pips on the GO Plus+ account, aggregated from tier 1 and tier 2 liquidity providers, and that the Standard account offers spreads from 0.8 pips with no commission. The GO Plus+ commission is quoted as US$2.50 per side on a standard FX lot, which equates to a US$5 round-turn. These are the figures the broker publishes; we have not independently verified them, and they are likely to vary by instrument and market conditions.

What is not disclosed in the materials we reviewed is a full, instrument-by-instrument schedule of spreads and commissions for the Seychelles entity. The group's website provides a spreads and fees page, but it is not clear whether that applies to the international arm or only to the Australian and European entities. For a trader, this lack of transparency is a minor red flag. We would advise contacting the broker directly for a current schedule before opening an account, and to treat any quoted spread as indicative rather than a guarantee.

The group offers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and TradingView, according to its public site. MT5 is described as supporting a variety of execution modes and order types, up to 100 charts, 21 timeframes, and fundamental analysis tools. This is a broad platform choice, which is unusual for a broker of this size, and it is a genuine strength. For algorithmic traders, the availability of MT5 and cTrader is particularly valuable, as both support automated strategies.

We have not found specific information about demo accounts for the Seychelles entity, but it is common for brokers in this group to offer a demo. If a demo is available, we strongly recommend using it to test the platforms and the execution before committing real funds. The group's website also mentions a GO Markets Academy with educational resources, webinars, and courses, which may be useful for beginners, though we have not verified the depth of that content.

The group's website describes a straightforward account-opening process: log in to the Client Portal, select a funding method, and start trading. First-time deposits and withdrawals may take 1-3 business days, and third-party payments are strictly prohibited. The broker also notes that it does not charge fees for deposits, but that international banking institutions may impose intermediary fees. These are the group's own statements, and we have not independently verified the exact KYC requirements for the Seychelles entity.

In our experience, offshore entities typically require standard identity verification — a passport or national ID, proof of address, and sometimes a source of funds declaration. We would expect the Seychelles entity to follow a similar pattern, but the specifics are not published in the materials we reviewed. If you are opening an account, be prepared to provide documentation, and be aware that the process may be slower than with a fully online, automated onboarding. The absence of detailed KYC information on the site is another reason to proceed with caution.

In FXCanary's assessment, the Go Markets International Ltd account offering is a mixed picture. On the one hand, the group has a long history, a broad platform selection, and a range of account types that cater to different trader profiles. The Micro account's US$10 minimum deposit is genuinely accessible, and the GO Plus+ raw-spread pricing is competitive for active traders. On the other hand, the Seychelles entity operates under light oversight, with no published licence number in our records, and the broker's own materials acknowledge that the level of protection depends on which entity holds your account.

For a cautious trader, the absence of independent reviews and the thin verifiable footprint of the international arm are significant. We would not describe this as a scam — our risk score is Guarded, not High Risk — but we would urge anyone considering this broker to weigh the benefits of low minimums and high leverage against the risks of offshore registration. If you do proceed, start with a small deposit, use a demo account first, and keep leverage at a conservative level. The account types are well designed, but the regulatory wrapper is the part that deserves the most scrutiny.
