Raw Forex Review: Unlicensed Broker Using a 'Raw Spread' Name

Raw Forex is a forex brand that puts the "raw spread" concept, familiar to professional investors, into its name and presents itself as a low-cost, transparent intermediary. Turning a technical term into a brand is a method chosen to inspire trust in users who want to look experienced.

In short: Raw Forex is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). In schemes that start with a low-cost promise, requests for extra fees appear at the withdrawal stage. Claiming back the money sent is legally possible.

🚩 Why Was a Technical Term Turned into a Brand?

"Raw" describes an account type at authorised brokers. In schemes of this kind, however, the term is used to give the impression that the platform provides direct access to the market; in reality, trades are executed on the platform's own server at prices it sets itself. Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code treats schemes of this kind, in which computer systems are used as a tool, as qualified fraud.
