What the SCB licence means
Our records show that, Trade Nation holds a licence from the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB), the financial regulator for Bahamas. We classify the SCB as tier 3 — moderate regulation. Established offshore or emerging-market regulators with capital and reporting requirements but limited retail protection.
For Trade Nation clients whose account is held by its SCB-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 — Client asset requirements. Disputes can be taken to SCB.
Trade Nation is also matched to licences from ASIC, FCA, FSCA and FSA (Seychelles). ASIC, FCA and FSCA are rated higher than the SCB in our methodology, so if you are eligible for those entities you may get stronger protection.
