Licences on record 0

No licence on record. We haven't matched TD Ameritrade to a licence from a regulator we track. This may mean our data is incomplete, the firm is licensed somewhere we don't cover, or it is unregulated. Follow our verification guide and search IOSCO I-SCAN before depositing.

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.

TD Ameritrade regulation FAQ

Is TD Ameritrade regulated?

We have not matched TD Ameritrade to a licence in our database. Verify the company named in its client agreement on an official register before depositing, and check regulator warning lists such as IOSCO I-SCAN.

Does TD Ameritrade accept US clients?

TD Ameritrade is not matched to a CFTC/NFA registration in our database. Only CFTC-registered, NFA-member firms may offer retail forex to US residents, so TD Ameritrade generally cannot accept US retail forex clients.

Is my money protected with TD Ameritrade?

None of the regulators matched to TD Ameritrade in our database runs a compensation scheme for retail forex. Protection depends on client-money segregation and the broker's solvency.

How can I verify TD Ameritrade's licence?

Find the company name and licence number in TD Ameritrade's client agreement or website footer, then search it on the regulator's official register (linked from each licence on this page). Confirm that the website domain you use is listed on the register, and check the regulator's warning list for clones.
