• IC Markets Class Action

    Registration Form
  • Echo Law has commenced a class action against International Capital Markets Pty Ltd (trading as IC Markets) and its founder Mr Andrew Budzinski. It advances claims on behalf of retail investors who acquired ‘contracts for difference’ (CFDs) between 20 December 2017 and 23 August 2024, and suffered loss or damage.  

    The class action alleges that CFDs were highly risky and unsuitable financial products, and that IC Markets and Mr Budzinski engaged in misleading, deceptive and unconscionable conduct in the supply of CFDs to retail investors.  

    If you have suffered loss or damage as a result of acquiring CFDs with IC Markets, you may register by completing the steps below. It will not cost anything to register, and you will never be ‘out of pocket’ as a result of participating in this class action.
