At Stryke Markets Ltd, safeguarding client capital is a core operational priority. As an international execution-only brokerage serving non-resident clients, the Company has established structured controls and procedures designed to promote transparency, accountability, and responsible handling of client funds.
Our framework reflects industry practices commonly adopted by offshore brokerages providing access to global markets.
Stryke Markets Ltd maintains responsibility for the administration of client balances in connection with trading activity conducted on the Company’s platform.
Client funds deposited for trading purposes are held in accounts designated for client balances with recognized international banking institutions and/or regulated payment service providers, depending on the funding method, currency, and jurisdiction.
Key principles governing client funds include:
Client funds are maintained separately from the Company’s operating capital
Client deposits are not used for general business expenses
Client funds are not commingled with proprietary trading capital
Client balances are recorded and maintained on the Company’s internal client ledger
Stryke Markets Ltd is not a bank and does not provide deposit-taking services.
The Company applies operational segregation of client funds, meaning that client balances are tracked independently from the Company’s own funds and are managed in accordance with defined internal controls.
Where applicable, client funds may be held in segregated or designated accounts maintained with third-party financial institutions or payment partners. The specific custody structure may vary based on the funding channel, jurisdiction, or regulatory environment.
Segregation in this context is contractual and operational in nature and should not be interpreted as statutory trust protection, investor compensation coverage, or government-backed deposit insurance.
Client funds are used exclusively for purposes directly related to trading activity, including:
• Margin requirements and collateral related to open positions
• Settlement of profits and losses arising from executed trades
• Processing of approved client withdrawals
Client funds are not used for:
• Company operating expenses
• Lending, pledging, or third-party investment activity
• Proprietary trading unrelated to client positions
Withdrawals are processed in accordance with the Company’s Withdrawal Policy and Anti Money Laundering (AML) procedures, which include:
• Client identity verification prior to withdrawal approval
• Return-to-source requirements where applicable
• Restrictions on third-party withdrawals
• Internal review and authorization procedures
The Company maintains internal controls intended to mitigate unauthorized access and reduce operational risk related to fund movements.
Stryke Markets Ltd utilizes third-party trading technology and execution infrastructure, including Unity.finance and FXCubic, to facilitate order management, trade routing, and liquidity access.
These entities act strictly as technology and execution service providers and:
• Do not hold or custody client funds
• Do not maintain client balances
• Do not process client deposits or withdrawals
• Do not exercise control over client money
All responsibility for the administration and safeguarding of client funds remains with Stryke Markets Ltd within the scope of its brokerage operations.
The Company performs ongoing internal reconciliations between:
Client ledger balances
Bank and payment provider account balances
Open trading exposure
Where appropriate, Stryke Markets Ltd may engage independent third-party professionals to assist with accounting support, reconciliation review, or operational assessments.
Stryke Markets Ltd is incorporated in Saint Lucia and operates as an international execution only brokerage. The Company does not solicit or provide services to residents of Saint Lucia or other restricted jurisdictions.
Client funds are not protected by any government-backed deposit insurance or investor compensation scheme. In the event of insolvency, client claims may be treated as unsecured claims, subject to applicable law.
Clients should carefully consider these factors before depositing funds.
Trust is established through clarity, discipline, and transparency.
By maintaining defined fund-handling procedures, operational segregation of client balances, and clear disclosure regarding custody and execution infrastructure, Stryke Markets Ltd seeks to provide a structured and transparent trading environment for international clients accessing global markets.
