What is Weltrade?
Weltrade is an international forex and CFD broker founded in 2006. It offers CFDs on forex, metals (including gold), commodities, indices, stocks and crypto, plus its own synthetic indices called SyntX. The main company, Weltrade Ltd., is an International Business Company registered in Saint Lucia; its South African subsidiary, Weltrade SA (PTY) Ltd, holds FSCA licence No. 50691.
Weltrade’s status in Indonesia
- Weltrade does not hold a business licence from Bappebti, Indonesia’s commodity futures trading regulator.
- Under Indonesian rules, anyone offering futures trading (including forex) to the Indonesian public must be licensed by Bappebti, even if they hold foreign licences.
- Several Weltrade-related domains appeared on Bappebti’s website blocking lists in 2021–2022.
- As a result, client funds are not held in Bappebti-approved segregated accounts, and there is no official complaints channel in Indonesia.
You can check the list of licensed futures brokers on bappebti.go.id.
Does Weltrade have an office in Indonesia?
There is no Weltrade branch registered with Bappebti. The broker’s official contact channels are weltrade.com, live chat on the website and app, and the support email listed on the official site. Be wary of people or groups claiming to be the “Weltrade Indonesia office”, an “account manager” or a “mentor” who ask you to transfer money to a personal bank account — this is a common scam pattern. Here is how to recognise the official Weltrade website.

Platforms

SyntX synthetic indices
SyntX instruments are generated by algorithms and trade 24/7, including weekends — one of the main reasons Indonesian traders look at Weltrade. Learn how they work and their risks in our Weltrade synthetic indices guide.
Deposits and withdrawals
Available payment methods depend on country and verification status: bank cards (deposits only), international e-wallets, crypto and some local methods. Details are in Weltrade deposit and withdrawal and the Weltrade withdrawal guide.
Weltrade partner (IB) programme
Weltrade runs affiliate and Introducing Broker (IB) programmes that pay partners for referred clients. Note that in Indonesia, promoting futures trading on behalf of a broker without a Bappebti licence — through ads, seminars or social media groups — is prohibited. If someone invites you via an “IB Weltrade Indonesia”, that intermediary is not supervised by an Indonesian regulator.
Pros and risks for Indonesian traders
Pros
- Very small starting deposit and cent accounts
- Familiar MT4/MT5 platforms
- 24/7 synthetic instruments
- Multilingual interface and support
Risks
- No Bappebti licence — no legal protection in Indonesia
- Websites and apps may be blocked at any time
- Very high leverage (up to 1:2000, SyntX 1:10000)
- Currency conversion risk, as accounts are in USD/EUR
Conclusion
Weltrade is a long-established international broker with flexible trading conditions, but it is not licensed by Bappebti. For Indonesian traders this means higher legal and fund risks than with a licensed local broker. Understand those risks, never send money to a “representative’s” personal account, and consider Bappebti-licensed alternatives.
