BAPPEBTI regulated forex brokers
Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency · 🇮🇩 Indonesia
The Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI) is the financial regulator for Indonesia, established in 1999. ForexLicenses.com classifies it as tier 3 (moderate regulation). We currently match 23 brokers in our database to an BAPPEBTI licence.
Indonesian residents may legally trade forex only through local futures brokers (pialang berjangka) registered with BAPPEBTI and a futures exchange. BAPPEBTI routinely blocks hundreds of illegal trading websites each year, including local-language mirrors of offshore brokers. Supervision of some financial derivatives has been shifting toward the OJK, so check both agencies.
