NAT Securities Deposit & Withdrawal

When a broker is as new and as lightly documented as NAT Securities Inc, the funding page is where a trader's due diligence should begin and end. Our records show that NAT Securities was incorporated in Vanuatu on 6 June 2023, holds a single VFSC Forex Trading License (EP) with licence number 700646, and reports zero employees. The official domain is nat-sec.com, and the registered address is Suite 8, Ground Floor, iCount House, Kumul Highway, Port Vila.

What we do not have is any independent verification of how this broker handles client money. There are no user reviews, no third-party audit trail, and no published complaints that we can point to. That absence is not evidence of wrongdoing, but it is a clear signal that any deposit you make is a leap of faith. In this article, we walk through what is and is not verifiable about NAT Securities' funding arrangements, and we give you a practical framework for protecting your capital if you choose to proceed.

NAT Securities' own company description mentions two account types and a proprietary 'NAT Trading Platform', but it does not specify which deposit methods are accepted. The known facts are silent on bank transfers, credit/debit cards, e-wallets, or cryptocurrencies. In the absence of a published payment policy, we cannot confirm whether the broker supports even the most common funding routes.

Our web search returned no usable information on NAT Securities' deposit options. The search results that mention 'NAT Securities' refer to unrelated entities — a French company with a similar name, a New York LLC, and a Vanuatu regulatory notice that we discuss later. None of these describe the broker's actual payment infrastructure. So, for now, the only honest statement is that deposit methods are not independently verifiable. If you are considering this broker, you should demand a clear, written list of accepted payment methods before sending any money.

Just as we cannot confirm deposit methods, we have no verified information on withdrawal methods or processing times. The broker's marketing materials may promise fast withdrawals, but we have no independent record to back that up. In our experience, brokers that are transparent about funding will publish their withdrawal policy prominently — including minimum amounts, processing windows, and any fees. NAT Securities does not appear to do so.

This lack of disclosure is a red flag, not because it proves anything, but because it makes it impossible for a trader to plan. If you cannot find out how long a withdrawal takes before you deposit, you are effectively agreeing to terms you have not seen. For a broker registered in Vanuatu, where regulatory oversight is light, that is a risk we would not take lightly.

Our known facts contain no figures for deposit fees, withdrawal fees, or minimum deposit amounts. The web search results do not fill this gap — they describe other companies entirely. We therefore cannot tell you whether NAT Securities charges for funding, whether there is a minimum initial deposit, or whether there are hidden costs buried in the account terms.

What we can say is that the absence of published fee information is itself a data point. Established brokers typically list their fees and minimums on their website or in their terms of service. A broker that does not disclose these basics is either very new, very careless, or deliberately opaque. None of those possibilities is comforting. If you do decide to fund an account, ask for a written fee schedule and keep it for your records.

NAT Securities is regulated by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) under a Forex Trading License (EP), licence number 700646. Vanuatu is an offshore jurisdiction known for light-touch regulation. The VFSC does not typically require the same level of financial reporting, client money segregation, or audit standards as, say, the FCA in the UK or ASIC in Australia. That does not mean the licence is worthless, but it does mean the protection it offers to clients is limited.

We also found a document from October 2024 — published by OffshoreAlert — indicating that the VFSC issued a 'Notice of Intention to Revoke' the licence of NAT Securities Inc. We must be careful here: a notice of intention is not a revocation. It is a formal step that can lead to revocation, but the outcome is not certain.

However, for a broker that has been operating for barely a year, this is a serious development. It suggests that the regulator has concerns about the firm's compliance. We recommend that any trader check the current status of the licence directly with the VFSC before depositing funds.

Our web search returned a mix of unrelated companies and one relevant regulatory document. The unrelated entities include a French brokerage called NAT (SIREN 531038545), a New York LLC called Nat Securities LLC, and several other brokers with different names. None of these are NAT Securities Inc of Vanuatu. This is a classic case of name confusion — and it is exactly why we treat web results with caution.

The one relevant result is the OffshoreAlert article about the VFSC's notice of intention to revoke. That document is directly about NAT Securities Inc, and it matches our known facts. We have not been able to verify the current status of the licence beyond that notice, so we cannot say whether the licence is still active. This uncertainty is another reason to approach this broker with caution.

Given how little is verifiable about NAT Securities, we recommend a conservative approach to funding. First, start with an amount you can afford to lose entirely. Do not deposit your life savings, and do not use money you need for rent or bills.

Second, test the withdrawal process early. Make a small deposit, request a withdrawal as soon as you can, and see if the money actually comes back. If the broker delays, asks for excessive documentation, or refuses to pay, you have learned a valuable lesson at a low cost.

Third, keep records of everything. Save screenshots of the deposit page, the terms and conditions, and any communication with the broker. If a dispute arises, you will need evidence.

Fourth, consider using a payment method that offers some form of chargeback or buyer protection, such as a credit card, rather than a wire transfer or cryptocurrency, which are harder to reverse. Finally, check the VFSC's website directly for any updates on NAT Securities' licence status. A broker under regulatory scrutiny is not necessarily a scam, but it is a broker that demands extra caution.

NAT Securities Inc is a new, offshore broker with a single VFSC licence, no verifiable website presence, and no independent reviews. Its funding arrangements are a black box. We cannot tell you what deposit methods it accepts, what fees it charges, or how long withdrawals take. We also cannot confirm that the broker is operating in good standing, given the VFSC's notice of intention to revoke.

That does not mean NAT Securities is a scam — we have no evidence of fraud. But it does mean that any money you send is at risk. In FXCanary's assessment, this is a 'Guarded' situation, with a scam risk score of 41/100.

If you choose to trade here, do so with a small amount, test the withdrawal process early, and keep meticulous records. And above all, do not assume that a Vanuatu licence means your funds are protected. It does not.
