What FSC protection means

General facts about the regime. What applies to you depends on the licensed entity and your client category.

  • Licensees are supervised under BVI law.
  • There is typically no investor compensation scheme for clients.
  • Retail-client protections such as leverage caps are generally lighter than in the UK or EU.

Offshore licensing. Licensing regimes often aimed at clients outside the jurisdiction. Usually no investor compensation scheme, lighter rules and a harder route to redress.

FSC: frequently asked questions

What protection does a FSC licence give clients?
Licensees are supervised under BVI law. There is typically no investor compensation scheme for clients. Retail-client protections such as leverage caps are generally lighter than in the UK or EU. These are general facts about the regime; what applies to you depends on the licensed entity and your client category.
How many brokers list FSC in your register?
20 of the brokers in our register list Financial Services Commission (British Virgin Islands) (FSC). Records are refreshed as new regulator information is checked, and a listing here is a pointer, not proof of a current licence.
How do I check a FSC licence?
Open the BVI FSC website and search for the entity's name or licence number. Confirm the licensed legal entity matches the company in your account terms and that its status is current.
Does a licence mean a broker is safe?
No. A licence shows a regulator authorised a specific legal entity for specific activities. It does not guarantee the firm will not fail or treat clients fairly. Check the entity you actually contract with, and that its status is current.

We take no affiliate commissions from brokers, prop firms or educators, and rated entities cannot be our affiliates.

Absence of a regulatory action is not an endorsement, and absence from a regulator's list is not proof of authorisation.
