"Claimed" means the broker (or the source linked) states this licence. We haven't matched it on this regulator's register yet, so check the number yourself before you deposit.
Before you sign up
- Find the firm's exact legal entity on the regulator's register, not just the brand name.
- Check the website address the register lists matches the one you're on.
- Check which entity your account would actually be opened with. Global brokers often onboard you through an offshore company.
- Search the warning list for the brand and any clone names.
Facts only, not advice. Info may be out of date or wrong. Always check with the regulator before you trade.
