Verify

Check who you are trading with before you deposit.

Verify checks a name against regulator and court records and returns a plain verdict with the source shown. Entity checks are free, and a verdict is never behind a paywall.

Every verdict shows where it came from. A Caution only appears with a cited regulator or court action.

Illustrative example. Not a real record.

What it does

One check for each kind of name

Independent, sourced records for the entities you interact with:

01

Brokers

Verify checks listed regulators, register status, FCA references, and warning-list entries, turning them into a clear trust band.

02

Prop firms

Operating status, published challenge rules, and scores for assessed firms. Unscored firms show as Not yet rated, and closed firms are clearly marked.

03

Educators

Three clear labels: Verified, Unverified, or Caution. A Caution is only issued when backed by a documented, cited regulator or court action.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still stuck? Contact us.

What does Verify actually check?
For a broker: the regulators it lists, its register status and any warning-list entries. For a prop firm: its operating status and published terms, and a score where we hold a scored record. For an educator or signal group: whether there is a documented regulator or court action against them.
What do the verdict labels mean?
Brokers and prop firms get a score and band. Educators get one of three labels: Verified, Unverified or Caution. Prop firms we have not scored show “Not yet rated”, and firms that have shut down are marked closed.
Is a “Trusted” band a guarantee the broker is safe?
No. A band summarises the records we hold at the time of the last review. It is not an endorsement and not a guarantee of future conduct, and it is not investment advice.
Can a firm pay to improve or remove its record?
No. Records are computed from public sources and cannot be bought, improved or removed by their subject. A firm can request a correction by sending a primary source.
How often are records updated?
Records are reviewed on a rolling basis and each one shows the date of its latest review, so check the date before relying on it. If something has changed sooner, tell us and send the source.
Why does a broker have several regulators?
Many brokers run separate legal entities in different countries. The entity that holds your account decides which regulator and which protections apply, so check the entity you are actually onboarded to.

verify.trading provides records and analysis, not investment advice; trading involves significant risk of loss. Absence of a regulatory action is not an endorsement, and absence from a regulator's list is not proof of authorisation.
