Broker lists

Lists built from our licence database, not from commercial deals. Every list updates automatically when licence records change.

Publicly Listed Forex Brokers

Brokers whose parent company is listed on a stock exchange must publish audited accounts and are subject to market disclosure rules — a valuable extra layer of transparency on top of licensing.

22 brokers

Brokers With Three or More Tier-1 Licences

These groups hold licences from at least three regulators we classify as tier 1. Multiple top-tier licences indicate substantial compliance investment, though your protection still depends on the entity you use.

14 brokers

CFTC/NFA Registered Brokers for US Traders

Only firms registered with the CFTC and NFA may offer retail forex to US residents. This list includes retail FX dealers and futures brokers offering CME currency futures.

34 brokers

Licensed Banks Offering Forex Trading

Trading banks such as Swissquote, Saxo and Dukascopy hold full banking licences, which brings bank-level capital requirements and, for cash deposits, access to deposit-guarantee schemes.

11 brokers

Brokers With Only Offshore Licences

These brokers are matched only to tier-3 or tier-4 licences in our database. They typically offer high leverage but no compensation scheme and limited recourse. This is not an accusation of wrongdoing — it is a description of their regulatory position.

80 brokers

Brokers With No Licence on Record

We have not matched these brands to a licence in our database. Some may hold licences we have not yet recorded; some operate from registration-only jurisdictions. Verify independently before depositing, and tell us if you find a licence we have missed.

44 brokers

Regulated Brokers With Low Minimum Deposits (US$100 or Less)

Tier-1 or tier-2 regulated brokers advertising a minimum deposit of US$100 or less on their standard account. Minimums vary by entity and payment method.

171 brokers

UK Spread Betting Providers

Spread betting is available to UK and Irish residents through FCA-authorised providers. Profits are generally free of UK capital gains tax for individuals, but tax treatment depends on personal circumstances.
