AMF regulated forex brokers
Autorité des Marchés Financiers · 🇫🇷 France
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) is the financial regulator for France, established in 2003. ForexLicenses.com classifies it as tier 2 (strong regulation). We currently match 0 brokers in our database to an AMF licence.
France's AMF regulates market conduct while the ACPR (part of the Banque de France) authorises investment firms; the REGAFI register shows which firms are authorised or passported into France. The AMF was one of the first European regulators to ban advertising of highly speculative forex and binary products to retail clients, and it publishes extensive blacklists of unauthorised forex, crypto and investment websites — a useful resource for anyone checking an unfamiliar broker.
