Findings
Regulation & Licensing
15/100teletrade.org is run by Teletrade D.J. LLC of St Vincent and the Grenadines, which names no regulator or licence. The Cyprus company that held the brand’s CySEC licence has been renamed and now trades as Earn.
- Highteletrade.org states that it is managed by Teletrade D.J. LLC (2351 LLC 2022) of Kingstown, St Vincent and the Grenadines. No regulator or licence is claimed on any page reviewed.
- ObservationThe former EU company, Teletrade-DJ International Consulting Ltd, keeps CySEC licence 158/11 under the name Top Markets Solutions Ltd and trades as Earn on earn.eu. Its general manager stated in a 2026 Cyprus court case that, after the death of the ultimate owner of all Teletrade-named companies, each was bought by different owners. That is a party’s statement, not a court finding.
Corporate Structure & Ownership
40/100TeleTrade names the company that runs its site but discloses no owner. Teletrade D.J. LLC reports to the global LEI system that it is controlled by natural persons, who are not named, and its LEI registration has lapsed.
- MediumNo owner, parent company or audited accounts for Teletrade D.J. LLC were found; its LEI registration lapsed in March 2024.
Client Money & Payouts
15/100Clients’ money is held by a company that no financial regulator supervises. teletrade.org makes no statement on segregation, negative balance protection or compensation, while promoting guaranteed returns and loss compensation.
- HighNo regulator supervises Teletrade D.J. LLC’s handling of client money, and no statement on segregated accounts, negative balance protection or a compensation scheme was found on teletrade.org.
- Highteletrade.org advertises “RISK-FREE INVESTMENT, SAFE PROFIT!”, a “Loss Compensation Guarantee” under which “We’ll compensate for any losses incurred”, and “Accruals” of “a steady fixed income of 4.5% per annum along with an additional 24% per annum for active trading”.
Execution & Pricing
Not assessed in a desk audit. Spreads, slippage and fill quality can only be measured with live accounts.
Conduct & Disclosure
25/100Poland’s financial regulator has joined a criminal complaint concerning Teletrade Polska, which it says operated through TeleTrade websites. CySEC reached a €120,000 settlement with the brand’s former EU company in 2021.
- HighPoland’s KNF lists a notification of a suspected offence under Article 178 of the Act on trading in financial instruments concerning Teletrade Polska sp. z o.o., operating through teletrade.eu, teletrade.org, teletrade-dj.com and esperio.org. The case is with the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw, and the KNF chairman joined the proceedings. No final judgment is recorded.
- MediumOn 12 April 2021 CySEC reached a €120,000 settlement with Teletrade-DJ International Consulting Ltd (announced 29 April 2021) over possible breaches of organisational requirements, client information, suitability and appropriateness, and best execution. The company paid the amount. It has since been renamed and no longer uses the TeleTrade brand.
- ObservationIn a July 2026 wage case the Nicosia District Court acquitted Top Markets Solutions Ltd and its general manager, but sent a copy of the judgment to the Attorney General because evidence from both sides raised allegations of money laundering, fraud and false statements to the authorities. These are allegations, not findings.
- ObservationTeleTrade has been named as unauthorised by Ukraine’s NSSMC (2024). Under our methodology such warnings are recorded but not scored.
Operational Resilience
Not assessed in a desk audit. Uptime, incident history and security controls require evidence from the firm or live monitoring.
People & Community

- ObservationNo Great Place to Work certification or community programme was found in public sources.

Evidence and scope
Scope
Desk audit of the brand’s client-facing entity, using public sources only: regulator registers and announcements, court records, and the firm’s own published documents, as available on 9 October 2026. No accounts were opened, nothing was tested live, and the firm was not asked for evidence.
Limitations
Absence of a public enforcement record is not evidence of good conduct. The outcome of the Polish criminal proceedings and of any review by Cyprus’s Attorney General is not known. The relationship between Teletrade D.J. LLC, Teletrade Polska and the former Cyprus company could not be established from primary sources beyond the statements cited. The Bank of Russia’s warning list could not be searched.
