Which Blueberry Markets entity serves UAE residents
Blueberry Markets states that it accepts UAE residents, but it has no entity licensed by the CMA (formerly SCA), DFSA or FSRA on record. UAE clients are onboarded by a foreign entity (Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC), Financial Services Commission (FSC) Mauritius), which means UAE regulators have no jurisdiction over your account.
Status on BrokerBazaar UAE: Available to residents (foreign entity). "Available" is not the same as "regulated in the UAE": only a Capital Market Authority (CMA, formerly SCA), DFSA or FSRA licence gives you local supervision and a local complaints route.
Funding in AED and local payment methods
Blueberry Markets has not stated AED account denomination or UAE local bank transfer on its BrokerBazaar submission. Deposit methods listed: Bank Transfer, Credit Card, e-Wallets, Crypto. Expect USD-denominated accounts and a card or bank FX conversion fee unless the broker confirms AED wallets.
Withdrawal methods listed: Bank Transfer, Cards and region-dependent payment methods. UAE banks may query incoming payments from offshore brokers; keep your deposit records.
Islamic (swap-free) account for UAE traders
Blueberry Markets states that a swap-free account is available, subject to conditions such as holding-period limits or a replacement admin fee. Confirm which instruments are eligible and whether an administration charge replaces the overnight swap.
UAE-specific risk note
Because Blueberry Markets has no UAE licence on record, the CMA cannot intervene in a dispute. None of the recorded regulators is strict-tier, so recourse is limited. The CMA periodically publishes warnings about unlicensed platforms marketing to UAE residents; check its list before depositing.

Blueberry Markets at a glance
Blueberry Markets is an Australian-founded broker offering forex and CFDs on indices, commodities and shares via MetaTrader, with a UAE-licensed entity.
Blueberry Markets reports a founding year of 2016 and a head office in Sydney, Australia. It lists 3 regulators and 7 trading platforms.
BrokerBazaar verdict
The principal risk consideration is therefore entity selection and leverage. The international structure permits leverage up to 1:500, while Australian retail CFD clients operate under Australia's substantially tighter leverage framework. Customer feedback is generally positive on Trustpilot, but current reviews also include allegations involving withdrawals, execution/slippage and account restrictions. These are customer reports and should not be treated as established regulatory findings.
Legal entities, regulation and licences
Blueberry Markets operates through 3 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence. Overall, the group is supervised by no regulator we could map to a public register.
Licence check: Not independently checked. This broker has submitted its details. BrokerBazaar has not yet independently checked them. A company registration or general business licence is not permission to offer regulated brokerage services; only the register entries linked in the table count.
Countries accepted and restricted
Blueberry Markets states that it accepts clients from United Arab Emirates, Australia. Availability is decided per entity and can change without notice; residents of jurisdictions such as the USA, and often the EU and UK, are frequently excluded from offshore entities.
