What the FSC (Belize) licence means
Based on our licence database, Scope Markets holds a licence from the Financial Services Commission of Belize (formerly IFSC) (FSC (Belize)), the financial regulator for Belize. We classify the FSC (Belize) as tier 4 — light / offshore. Light-touch offshore licensing, registration-only jurisdictions or self-regulatory dispute bodies. Minimal practical protection.
For Scope Markets clients whose account is held by its FSC (Belize)-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — No compensation scheme; retail leverage — No statutory cap; negative balance protection — not a regulatory requirement (may be offered contractually); client money — Licence conditions. Disputes can be taken to FSC Belize.
Scope Markets is also matched to licences from FSCA and CMA (Kenya). FSCA and CMA (Kenya) are rated higher than the FSC (Belize) in our methodology, so if you are eligible for those entities you may get stronger protection.
