SCA: frequently asked questions

What protection does a SCA licence give clients?
Licensed firms are supervised under UAE federal securities law. Check which entity holds the licence and which products it covers. These are general facts about the regime; what applies to you depends on the licensed entity and your client category.
How many brokers list SCA in your register?
21 of the brokers in our register list Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). 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 SCA licence?
Open the SCA website and search for the firm's name. 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.
