Zemblanco Investments Ltd

Zemblanco Investments Ltd is a Cyprus-registered investment firm established in 2015. It operates under the brand name Zemblanco and provides online trading services to retail and institutional clients. The company is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, at 8 Rigas Fereos Street, 3rd floor, Agios Nikolaos, 3095.

According to public records, Zemblanco is a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) authorised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). The firm holds a MiFID II licence, allowing it to offer investment services across the European Economic Area under passporting arrangements.

Zemblanco Investments Ltd is regulated by CySEC under licence number 277/15, granted on 28 May 2015. The licence is classified as a CIF licence, with the status of 'Authorised' as per CySEC’s register. The firm is also registered with the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) for passporting into Greece, although its primary regulator remains CySEC.

As a CySEC-regulated entity, Zemblanco is subject to the client money rules, capital adequacy requirements, and conduct of business standards under the MiFID II framework. The firm is also required to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and participates in the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF), which covers eligible clients up to €20,000 in case of insolvency.

Zemblanco offers trading via the industry-standard MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, according to aggregated industry databases. These platforms are available on desktop, web, and mobile devices, providing traders with advanced charting tools, automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs), and a range of technical indicators.

The broker’s product suite includes trading in stocks, futures, and securities lending. While the specific range of forex and CFD instruments is not publicly detailed, the presence of MT4/MT5 suggests standard forex pairs, indices, commodities, and CFDs are likely available. The broker does not appear to offer cryptocurrency trading as a regulated service.

Detailed information about account types, minimum deposits, trading costs, and leverage is not readily available from public sources. Given the broker’s CySEC regulation, it is expected to comply with ESMA’s leverage limits for retail clients (maximum 30:1 for major forex pairs).

Institutional or professional clients may have access to higher leverage and custom terms, but no specific account tiers have been confirmed. Payment methods are not disclosed on the official website, but typical CySEC brokers accept bank wire, credit cards, and e-wallets.

In September 2022, CySEC announced a settlement with Zemblanco Investments Ltd for a total of €200,000. The settlement related to possible violations of the Prevention and Suppression of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Law. CySEC did not publish detailed findings, but the settlement indicates that the regulator identified deficiencies in the firm’s AML procedures.

This regulatory action is a material risk factor. While the settlement does not imply admission of guilt, it signals that the broker has been under scrutiny for compliance shortcomings. Traders should weigh this history when considering the firm.

Zemblanco appears to target both retail and institutional investors, given its CySEC licence that permits serving all client categories. The availability of MT4/MT5 makes it accessible to retail traders seeking a familiar environment. However, the lack of transparent information about spreads, commissions, and account conditions means the broker may be more suitable for traders who prioritise regulatory protection over cost transparency.

The firm’s accreditation as an 'Accredited Institutional' client on some databases suggests it may also serve professional entities. Overall, Zemblanco is a niche player in the Cypriot brokerage space, with a limited public footprint.
