How should I verify a broker or institution on a regulator’s public register?
Click any regulator’s name or "Full Dossier →" to inspect its national licensing classes, minimum capital rules, and investor compensation limits, or use the "Register ↗" link to open its official public register. Search by the exact licence/reference number and confirm that the legal entity name, registered address, approved website domain, and permitted retail or institutional activities match the firm you are dealing with.
What is the difference between Tier-1, Tier-2, Tier-3, and Offshore supervisory regimes?
Tier-1 G10/prudential authorities (such as FCA, SEC/FINRA, CFTC/NFA, BaFin, FINMA, MAS, ASIC, JFSA, and SFC) enforce strict initial capital adequacy, daily client money segregation, and statutory investor compensation schemes. Tier-2 national supervisors maintain domestic conduct and prudential standards, while Offshore centres offer streamlined international business company licensing with lighter capital and no statutory compensation fund.
