Restricted Countries
Last updated: February 2026
1. Overview
Edmora Markets Ltd ("the Company", "we", "our", or "us") is committed to operating in compliance with international standards and sanctions. Due to legal restrictions, licensing requirements, and international compliance obligations, our trading services are not available to residents or citizens of certain countries and regions.
This policy outlines the jurisdictions where we cannot provide services and explains the reasons for these restrictions. We regularly review and update this list to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving legal requirements.
2. Restricted Countries and Regions

- Cuba
- Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea)
- Iran (Islamic Republic of)
- Iraq

- Syrian Arab Republic

This list is subject to change based on legal updates, international sanctions, and compliance requirements. Additional restrictions may apply to specific regions within certain countries.
3. Why These Restrictions Apply
The Company implements these geographical restrictions for several important reasons:
Operational Compliance
We operate in compliance with international financial standards and applicable laws. Some jurisdictions have legal frameworks that are incompatible with our operational structure.
International Sanctions
We adhere to international sanctions programs implemented by organizations including the United Nations, European Union, and other international bodies. These sanctions prohibit us from providing financial services to certain countries.
Licensing Requirements
Some jurisdictions require specific local licenses or impose operational requirements that we have not yet obtained or cannot meet. We only operate in markets where we are properly licensed and authorized.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Standards
We maintain strict AML and Know Your Customer (KYC) standards. Some jurisdictions present heightened risks or lack adequate legal frameworks for financial crime prevention, making it difficult for us to meet our compliance obligations.
4. Verification Process
To enforce these restrictions, we implement comprehensive verification procedures:
Identity Verification
All clients must provide valid government-issued identification during the account registration process. We verify citizenship and residency status as part of our mandatory KYC procedures.
Address Verification
Clients must provide proof of residential address through utility bills, bank statements, or other official documentation. This helps us verify that services are not being accessed from restricted jurisdictions.
IP Address Monitoring
We monitor login locations and may restrict access if connections are detected from prohibited jurisdictions. The use of VPNs or other tools to circumvent geographical restrictions is strictly prohibited.
Ongoing Monitoring
We continuously monitor client accounts for changes in residency status or suspicious activity that may indicate access from restricted regions. Clients are required to notify us immediately of any changes to their residency or citizenship status.
5. Consequences of Restriction Violations
Attempting to access our services from a restricted jurisdiction or providing false information regarding citizenship or residency may result in:
- Immediate account suspension or termination
- Freezing of funds pending investigation
- Forfeiture of trading profits
- Reporting to relevant authorities as required by law
- Legal action for fraud or misrepresentation
We take compliance with geographical restrictions very seriously and will take all necessary actions to enforce these policies.
6. Changes to Restricted Countries List
This list of restricted countries is subject to change without prior notice. Changes may occur due to:
- Updates to international sanctions programs
- Changes in legal requirements or operational structure
- New compliance obligations or risk assessments
- Expansion of our licensing to new jurisdictions
We encourage clients to regularly review this page for updates. If your country of residence becomes restricted after you have opened an account, we will provide reasonable notice and assist with account closure procedures.
