What the FSCA licence means
Our records show that, Colmex Pro holds a licence from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), the financial regulator for South Africa. We classify the FSCA as tier 2 — strong regulation. Credible regulators with real rulebooks, but fewer safeguards than tier 1 (e.g. no compensation scheme or looser leverage rules).
For Colmex Pro clients whose account is held by its FSCA-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — No compensation scheme; FAIS Ombud handles complaints; retail leverage — No statutory retail leverage cap; negative balance protection — not a regulatory requirement (may be offered contractually); client money — Client funds must be kept in separate trust/client accounts. Disputes can be taken to FAIS Ombud.
Colmex Pro is also matched to licences from CySEC.
