A letter from our Founder…

Dear trusted clients,

Due to the natural progression as a Forex Trader, a growing list of clients and a need for bigger and better systems, I founded MASCAP back in 2022. It was a tumultuous time, on the back-end of the global pandemic, yet through a track record of success and the consistent delivery of positive returns, we continued to gain traction.

We hit our 600 client milestone in our first 12 months, and by early 2023 recognised the need to scale responsibly. Naturally, we began to implement more stringent policies and requirements for anti-money laundering and additional banking policies. 

As some of our much-valued clients already know, the existing bank infrastructure requires our team to jump through hoops in order to satisfy their regulatory needs, and due to our fund now exceeding £22 million, the volume of daily transactions has created bottlenecks, resulting in delays in withdrawals and deposits.

Despite our verifiable approach, we have once again, outgrown our existing infrastructure and with that we are actively in the process of scaling up our banking infrastructure, moving to larger institutes that can handle such daily transactions. Through this process we are also submitting for approval to become a fully-regulated body, to provide new and existing clients peace of mind with how your funds are managed.

We’ll be announcing updates in the near future alongside client-first previews of our Client Portal. Those that are currently awaiting withdrawals are safe in the knowledge that they will continue to reap our frequent returns on compounded investment, with each individual receiving updates on expected timeframes.

Below you will find some FAQ regarding the KYC and AML procedures followed by us. Please read thoroughly as this will provide you with valuable insight. This is a summary of heavy-bodied regulations which our experts took the time to understand and simplify so that any person who is not a subject matter expert in the field can find easy to follow and understand.

We look forward to the next impending chapter and appreciate the patience of our members in making deposits & withdrawals at this time.

Yours Sincerely

Stuart Burling

Founder & CEO
