Stockity Regulation & Legality
Stockity is operated by Verte Securities Limited, registered in Vanuatu (registration number 700726), under a VFSC (Vanuatu) — offshore, bukan tier-1 licence. This is an offshore licence — not a tier-1 regulator such as the FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), or CySEC (EU), which apply far stricter oversight.
For Indonesian users, the facts are clear: Stockity is not registered with Bappebti and not supervised by OJK. Moreover, binary options / fixed-time trading are not recognised as legitimate futures trading in Indonesia. That means your legal protection as a consumer is very limited in a dispute.
You can and should verify this status yourself, rather than trusting claims on any site (including ours). How to check: look up the operator's registration number in the claimed regulator's registry, match the entity name, and search the local authority's 'investment alert' lists. Common red flags include: promises of guaranteed or 'risk-free' profit, pressure to deposit quickly, requests to transfer to a personal account, and surprise 'fees' that appear when you try to withdraw.

What this means for you
- Consumer protection under an offshore regulator is generally weaker than under a tier-1 authority.
- Because it's not registered with Bappebti, there's no Indonesian derivatives-oversight umbrella for this activity.
- Cross-jurisdiction disputes (Vanuatu) are hard and costly for retail users to pursue.
- Product risk stays high regardless of licence status — most retail users lose money.
Marketing claims vs facts
Stockity markets itself with claims like "3.5M users across 130+ countries" and "licensed and regulated". We write these as company claims, not independently verified facts. What's accurate: offshore VFSC (Vanuatu) licensed — not "regulated" by a tier-1 authority.

Legality FAQ
Is Stockity legal in Indonesia?
Stockity is not registered with Bappebti, and binary options are not recognised as legitimate futures trading in Indonesia. Weigh this status and the risks before deciding.
Are my funds protected?
Under an offshore VFSC licence, consumer protection is generally limited. There's no guaranteed compensation scheme like with tier-1 regulators.
Does 'licensed and regulated' mean it's safe?
That's a marketing claim. Offshore-licensed ≠ tightly supervised by a tier-1 regulator. Treat it as a high-risk product regardless.
