A South African broker built for serious traders
Black Crown Markets is the trading name of Black Crown Holdings (Pty) Ltd, an authorised Financial Services Provider regulated by the FSCA. We build the platform that gives our clients direct, transparent access to global markets — and we back it with real support, fast withdrawals and pricing you can check for yourself.
Who we are
Black Crown Holdings (Pty) Ltd trades as Black Crown Markets from our registered office in Century City, Cape Town. We are an authorised Financial Services Provider, licensed and regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority of South Africa under FSP No. 54549.
We provide the platform our clients use to trade contracts for difference across forex, indices, commodities, stocks and crypto. The derivatives themselves are issued by JP Markets SA (Pty) Ltd, an approved Over-the-Counter Derivatives Provider, which acts as counterparty and principal to every contract you enter into.
That split matters, and we would rather be upfront about it than bury it in a footer: you get a licensed local platform, an approved ODP standing behind your trades, and a structure you can verify with the regulator yourself.
What we stand for
Four things we hold ourselves to, and that you should hold us to as well.
Regulated and accountable
Licensed by the FSCA under FSP No. 54549, with an approved ODP as counterparty. Our licence numbers are on every page for a reason — check them.
Fast where it counts
Ultra-low latency execution and withdrawals sent within seconds. Speed on the way in matters less than speed on the way out.
Client funds protected
Bank-grade encryption and segregated client funds. Your capital is held apart from ours, because it is yours.
Support that answers
A real team, reachable around the clock at support@blackcrownmarkets.com. No ticket mazes, no scripted deflection.

In using our services you agree to be bound by the client agreement entered into between you (the Client) and JP Markets SA (Pty) Ltd. Black Crown Holdings does not offer services to US investors, or in any other jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation.
