“On the register” means we found this number on the regulator's own list. The FSC Mauritius register shows no licence numbers, so there we match by name and label the number “broker says”. “Claimed by broker” means the broker's site states it and we couldn't check that register automatically. Info may be out of date or wrong. Always check with the regulator before you trade.
