How to Check if a Broker Is Regulated

Learn how to verify licenses, regulators, and entity names.

  1. 1

    Find the claimed regulator and license or registration number on the broker site.

  2. 2

    Search the official regulator register using the legal entity name, not only the brand.

  3. 3

    Confirm the license status is active and covers the offered products.

  4. 4

    Check whether the domain and entity names match the licensed firm.

  5. 5

    If details cannot be matched, treat the regulation claim as unverified.
