Broker regulation checker
A broker's licence is the single most important safety signal — and the easiest thing to verify yourself. The table below maps every broker in our dataset to the financial authorities that regulate it, with a direct link to each authority's official public register so you can confirm a firm is genuinely authorised before depositing a cent. We rank by the strongest regime a broker holds.
Tap any regulator to open its official register in a new tab. “Tier” is a broad, widely-used characterisation of how strict and established a regime is (Tier 1 = major, well-resourced authorities such as the FCA and ASIC), not a rating of the broker itself.

- Note the exact legal entity name and licence number the broker publishes (usually in its website footer or terms).
- Open the relevant regulator's register from the links above.
- Search for the entity and confirm the licence is current and covers the services you'll use.
A single strong licence (Tier 1) generally means stricter capital, conduct and client-money rules than an offshore-only licence. Many brokers hold multiple licences across entities — which entity you sign up with determines the protections you actually get.
