Overview
Libertex is an online brokerage and trading-services brand operated by Indication Investments Ltd, a Cyprus-registered financial-services company. The platform is associated with Libertex Group, whose parent organization has operated in financial markets since 1997 under several brands, including ForexClub. The Libertex brand itself was established in 2012. The platform provides retail customers with access to a broad range of financial markets. Its principal offering is contracts for difference, commonly known as CFDs, covering foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, commodities, equity indices, exchange-traded funds, and individual stocks. CFD trading allows customers to speculate on price movements without directly owning the underlying asset, and may involve leverage. The platform also supports MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, alongside proprietary Libertex web and mobile applications. Libertex operates within a regulated European framework through Indication Investments Ltd, which is licensed by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission under license number 164/12. That authorization supports cross-border services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive framework. The company has also been registered with Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority for cross-border activities. The brand's regulatory profile became a significant public issue in August 2021, when CySEC partially suspended Indication Investments Ltd's authorization over concerns about compliance procedures. Libertex said it was operating in compliance with regulatory requirements, and the suspension was lifted later that month after the company addressed the regulator's concerns. The business has expanded beyond its traditional leveraged-trading proposition. In 2024, Libertex introduced Libertex Invest, an account type designed to let customers purchase and hold stocks without commission fees. This added a more conventional investment use case to a platform historically identified with CFDs and active trading. Libertex has also pursued high-visibility sports partnerships to build recognition among retail investors and trading audiences. It became Tottenham Hotspur's Official Online Trading Partner in 2020 under a three-year agreement that concluded in 2023. In 2022, the company announced a sponsorship involving FC Bayern Munich. In 2025, Libertex announced a sponsorship of the Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber Formula One team, subsequently associated with the Audi Revolut F1 Team identity. The group has continued to develop its international brand architecture. In August 2025, Libertex Group launched LBX, an offshore CFD brokerage brand operated by MAEX Limited in Mauritius. LBX is distinct from the core Libertex brand but illustrates the group's use of multiple entities and market-facing brands. Libertex Group leadership identified in reference material includes Chief Executive Officer Michael Geiger and Chief Marketing Officer Marios Chailis. Overall, Libertex is positioned as a technology-enabled, multi-asset trading platform combining leveraged derivatives, market access, proprietary digital tools, third-party trading software, and selected direct-investment functionality.
History
Libertex was established in 2012 by Indication Investments Ltd, a Cyprus-registered financial-services company. The operating company belonged to a wider organization with roots in financial-market activity dating to 1997 and a history of using brands including ForexClub. Libertex developed as an online brokerage platform for retail customers, focusing particularly on leveraged contracts for difference across multiple asset classes. Its service model combines access to financial markets with electronic trading technology. Customers can trade foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, exchange-traded funds, and stocks through CFDs. The platform has supported both proprietary Libertex applications and established third-party systems, including MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. This combination has allowed the brand to address both newer mobile-oriented users and more experienced traders familiar with MetaTrader tools. Regulation has been central to the brand's operating history. Indication Investments Ltd holds authorization from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission under license number 164/12. The authorization enables eligible cross-border services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland within the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive framework. The company has also been registered with BaFin for cross-border activities in Germany. In August 2021, CySEC partially suspended the company's license because of concerns about compliance procedures. Libertex stated that it was operating in accordance with regulatory requirements. The suspension was removed later that month after the company addressed the regulator's concerns and before the deadline cited by CySEC. Libertex has used sports marketing to increase brand visibility. In September 2020 it agreed to a three-year partnership with Tottenham Hotspur as the club's Official Online Trading Partner. That arrangement ended in 2023. In August 2022 the company announced a sponsorship involving FC Bayern Munich, extending its presence into German football. In February 2025 it announced a sponsorship of the Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, whose later identity became associated with Audi Revolut F1 Team. The brand broadened its product proposition in 2024 with Libertex Invest. Unlike the platform's traditional CFD-focused activities, this account type was described as enabling customers to purchase and hold stocks without commission fees. The launch reflected an attempt to serve both active traders and customers seeking more direct equity ownership. The group also expanded its brand portfolio in August 2025 with the launch of LBX, an offshore CFD brokerage operated by MAEX Limited in Mauritius. LBX is separate from the principal Libertex platform, although its creation demonstrates the group's international and multi-brand strategy. Leadership reference material identifies Michael Geiger as Chief Executive Officer of Libertex Group and Marios Chailis as Chief Marketing Officer from October 2019. Libertex remains an active digital brokerage brand, with its public identity built around multi-asset access, trading software, international reach, and a combination of leveraged and direct-investment products.
