Angel One regulation & licences
Licences on record 1
2 Tier 2 — strong regulation
Licences are matched from public sources and regulator registers, and entities change over time. A licence held by one company in a group does not cover clients of another. Always confirm on the official register.
Regulatory profile
Angel One is an exchange-traded currency broker founded in 1996 and headquartered in India. The group is listed on a public stock exchange (NSE:ANGELONE), which means audited financial statements are published regularly — a meaningful transparency advantage.
In our database Angel One is matched to 1 licence from SEBI. Its strongest licence comes from the SEBI, which we rate tier 2: credible supervision, but with fewer safeguards than the very strictest regulators.
Depending on the entity, eligible clients may be covered by Exchange Investor Protection Funds (SEBI).
Angel One supports its own proprietary platform. The advertised minimum deposit starts at zero (no minimum) — minimums often vary by account type and entity.
Because Angel One offers exchange-traded currency derivatives rather than OTC forex, your trades are cleared through a recognised exchange clearing house, prices are transparent and there is no broker counterparty on the other side of your trade.
