How do I choose a licensed forex broker?
Choose the entity licensed where you live — FCA (UK), CySEC (EU), ASIC (Australia) or DFSA (Dubai/Gulf) — and match its license number to the client agreement before you deposit.
Detailed explanation
A brand is not a license. Compensation, leverage caps and complaints follow the company that opens the account. CySEC covers the EEA (Cyprus ICF). FCA sits under UK rules and the FSCS. ASIC serves Australian retail clients. DFSA serves the DIFC. Offshore entities such as FSA Seychelles or FSC Belize sit outside those schemes.
Example
A UK account under an FCA-authorised company can use the Financial Ombudsman and, if the firm fails, the FSCS (up to £85,000). The same brand’s Seychelles entity would not.
Common mistake
Treating a CySEC, FCA or ASIC logo on a landing page as proof that your account is covered. Many groups onboard international clients through an offshore company. If the agreement names that company, the EU, UK or Australian compensation scheme does not apply.
Professional tip
Search the official register by license number, not only by brand. Confirm the status is authorised or active, that forex or CFDs are listed, and that the legal name matches the agreement before the first deposit.
