An FSCA Licence Claim That Independent Databases List as Unverified

The compliance record for QuickTrade comes down to a single claim and two independent databases that could not confirm it. The website publishes FSCA Derivatives (EP) licence number 45262. WikiBit and TraderKnows, both independent broker-verification databases, list that claim as Unverified as of June 2026. CleaRank does not state that QuickTrade is unlicensed. In fact, a July 2019 FSCA public warning about a different firm misusing the number states that FSP 45262 belongs to Quick Trade (Pty) Ltd, so the number is tied to a real South African company. The open question in October 2026 is a different one: that company now describes itself as an introducing broker, while client trades are booked with QuickTrade.World in Botswana. We could not run a live lookup of FSP 45262 because the FSCA register requires an interactive search.

The Claimed FSCA Derivatives (EP) Licence Number 45262

quicktrade.world presents the operator as QuickTrade (PTY) LTD, a South African company, and cites FSCA Derivatives (EP) licence number 45262. The Financial Sector Conduct Authority maintains a public register of licensed financial services providers. A genuine licence number is the easiest credential in the industry to confirm: the register is free, public, and searchable by number. Independent broker-verification databases WikiBit and TraderKnows list the status of QuickTrade’s claimed licence as Unverified as of June 2026.

What WikiBit and TraderKnows Report

Two independent broker-verification databases reach the same finding. WikiBit lists the claimed FSCA licence status for quicktrade.world as Unverified. TraderKnows reports the same Unverified status and additionally reports that the street address listed on the website could not be verified. Neither database confirms the licence, and neither confirms the address. CleaRank treats two independent Unverified findings on the same licence number as a structural regulatory concern rather than a clerical one.

What an Unverified Claim Means for Clients

An unverified licence claim means clients cannot confirm any recourse to the FSCA Ombud process or any South African investor-protection scheme. If a dispute arises over a withheld withdrawal or a closed account, the first question any lawyer or regulator asks is which licence governs the relationship. For QuickTrade, that question currently has no confirmed answer. CleaRank could find no Tier-1 authorisation for the brand from the FCA, ASIC, CySEC, BaFin, SEC or CFTC, and the one authorisation the website does claim is listed as Unverified by the independent databases that track it.

A Company With No Disclosed Owners and an Address That Could Not Be Verified

QuickTrade (PTY) LTD is the corporate name presented on quicktrade.world. Beyond that name, the public record is thin. Ownership and management information is not disclosed in public records: no named directors, no published shareholders, and no executive team that can be matched to company filings. The street address listed on the website could not be verified, according to the independent broker-verification databases WikiBit and TraderKnows. As of October 2026 the South African site lists an office at 1st Floor, Mushroom Farm Retail Park, corner of Allandale and President Drive, Kyalami Gardens, Midrand. The combination matters because accountability in retail trading flows through two anchors, a verifiable licence and a verifiable place of business. For QuickTrade, the independent record currently confirms neither. The Financial Sector Conduct Authority register remains the definitive test for the first anchor, and any reader can run it.

Ahrefs Audit: 918 Monthly Visits, Half From the Claimed Home Jurisdiction

Live data from the Ahrefs API for quicktrade.world on 12 June 2026: Domain Rating 38 (Ahrefs Rank 1,760,782), 2,105 live backlinks from 329 referring domains, 77 ranking organic keywords with 30 in the top three positions, 918 organic monthly visits valued at approximately $727 per month, and zero paid traffic. The traffic profile is the key: South Africa supplies 464 of those visits, 51 percent of the total, meaning the site’s audience is concentrated in the exact jurisdiction whose regulator the website cites and whose licence claim the independent databases list as Unverified.

Country breakdown of those 918 organic monthly visits: South Africa 464 (FSCA licence claim unverified), Zimbabwe 162 (SECZ no authorisation), United States 105 (no CFTC registration), India 72 (SEBI restrictions), Russia 24, South Korea 12, United Kingdom 11 (no FCA authorisation), Canada 10 (CSA unregistered), Brazil 8, Netherlands 8 (AFM jurisdiction), Norway 5, Malaysia 5, Italy 5, Germany 4. South Africa and Zimbabwe combined account for 626 visits per month, 68 percent of the total, all from southern African jurisdictions where the brand’s regulatory claims have not been confirmed.

The Smoking Gun: 51 Percent of Traffic From the Home of an Unverified Licence Claim

464 of quicktrade.world’s 918 monthly organic visits, 51 percent, come from South Africa, the home jurisdiction of the very FSCA licence claim that independent databases list as Unverified. That makes this review’s central finding a test any reader can run. Open the FSCA public register at fsca.co.za, search for licence number 45262, and compare what the register returns against what quicktrade.world claims. One register lookup settles the question, and as of June 2026 the operator’s own paperwork does not: WikiBit and TraderKnows both list the claim as Unverified. A broker marketing primarily to South African clients on the strength of a South African licence number carries the burden of making that number checkable, and the independent record shows it has not been confirmed.

Pro Tip from CleaRank: Treat any broker whose country-level traffic contradicts its own restriction policy as if it has already failed regulation. CLEAR-certified Tier-1 brokers like IC Markets, Fusion Markets or Darwinex use real IP-blocking and KYC gates to enforce country restrictions because their Tier-1 licences require it.

Payment Rails: No Confirmed Licence Means No Confirmed Recourse

CleaRank assesses payment risk for QuickTrade through the recourse lens, because the recourse chain is what the unverified licence claim breaks. A client of a confirmed FSCA licensee can escalate a withheld withdrawal to the FSCA Ombud process and, depending on the product, to South African investor-protection mechanisms. A client of an operator whose licence claim is listed as Unverified cannot confirm access to any of that. Practically, this means deposit-method choice is the only protection layer a QuickTrade client controls. Card payments through Visa or Mastercard carry a chargeback window of typically 120 to 180 days from the deposit date. Cryptocurrency transfers carry no chargeback mechanism at all. Until the FSCA claim is confirmed on the public register, clients should assume the only recovery path that exists is the one built into their payment method.

Smart Pro Tip: If a broker only accepts crypto, mobile wallets, or local rails outside the Visa or Mastercard network, that is a structural sign the operator is trying to evade chargeback protection. Stick to Tier-1 brokers that take SEPA, Faster Payments, Visa, or Mastercard, and verify them with the CleaRank Broker Risk Scanner before depositing.

Reputation Record: What the Independent Databases Found

The most consequential entries in QuickTrade’s public reputation record are not customer reviews but database findings. WikiBit, an independent broker-verification database, lists the claimed FSCA licence status as Unverified. TraderKnows, a second independent database, reports the same Unverified status and reports that the street address listed on quicktrade.world could not be verified. Ownership and management information is not disclosed in public records, so there is no named individual against whom a complaint could be directed and no verified office where service of legal process could be effected. CleaRank weighs verification findings from independent databases above anecdotal complaint volume because they are reproducible: anyone can re-run the same checks against the FSCA public register and the corporate record and reach the same result.

Action Steps If You Are Already a QuickTrade Customer

Stop depositing immediately. Do not add another cent regardless of any bonus or recovery promise.

Preserve every record. Save deposit transaction hashes, MetaTrader account statements, chat logs, KYC submissions, every email and every screenshot.

File a chargeback fast if you deposited by Visa or Mastercard. The dispute window is typically 120 to 180 days from the deposit date.

Report the firm. South Africa: Financial Sector Conduct Authority. UK: FCA Report an unauthorised firm. US: CFTC SmartCheck. EU: your national regulator and ESMA.

Avoid recovery offers. Anyone offering guaranteed fund recovery for an up-front fee is a second-layer concern. Legitimate chargeback and regulator-complaint paths do not require an up-front fee.

Our Verdict for QuickTrade

QuickTrade’s 0.17 / 5 CLEAR Score reflects a brand whose entire regulatory case rests on a single licence claim that independent databases could not confirm. FSCA Derivatives (EP) licence number 45262 claimed on quicktrade.world, listed as Unverified by WikiBit and TraderKnows. A street address that the same databases report could not be verified. Ownership and management information not disclosed in public records. No confirmed recourse to the FSCA Ombud process or any South African investor-protection scheme. And 464 of 918 monthly organic visits, 51 percent, arriving from South Africa, the home jurisdiction of the claim itself. The test is open to anyone: the FSCA public register at fsca.co.za is free to search, but the bigger issue as of October 2026 is structural: the FSCA number sits with a South African introducing broker, while the company that actually holds client trades, QuickTrade.World in Botswana, shows no financial licence that we could find.

Avoid QuickTrade. For real ECN execution under a Tier-1 regulator, use a CLEAR-certified broker such as IC Markets (ASIC), Fusion Markets (ASIC), or Darwinex (FCA). Verify any broker through the CleaRank Broker Risk Scanner before depositing.
