About IRC

Company Overview

IRC is a trading platform registered in Malaysia since December 12, 2017. The company operates under the domain irc-pro.com and lists contact phone numbers with Hong Kong prefixes (852-81750078, +852-81914995) and an email address info@ircgroups.com. As of the time of this review, the official website is inaccessible, displaying only a 'Launching Soon' placeholder page, which limits the ability to verify the platform's features and services directly.

Regulatory Status

IRC holds a licence from the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) classified as a Forex Trading License (EP). However, aggregated industry data and our own cross-checks flag this licence as suspicious and potentially a clone. The VFSC is known for its light-touch regulation, and the lack of verifiable licence details raises significant concerns. In FXCanary's assessment, the regulatory standing of IRC is weak, and traders should exercise extreme caution.

Company Credibility and Accessibility

The company's website irc-pro.com is non-functional, which is a major red flag for an operating broker. While the domain is registered, the site offers no information about trading platforms, account types, instruments, or funding methods. The contact information provided (phone numbers and email) could not be independently verified through the site. This lack of transparency makes it impossible to assess the broker's offerings or operational status.

Risk Assessment

Given the inaccessible website, suspicious licence status, and absence of independent reviews or user feedback, IRC presents a high-risk profile. FXCanary's Scam Risk Score of 55/100 (Elevated) reflects these concerns. Traders are strongly advised to avoid depositing funds until the broker can provide verifiable proof of regulation and a functional trading environment.
