MISA regulated forex brokers

Mwali International Services Authority · 🇰🇲 Comoros (Mohéli)

The Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) is the financial regulator for Comoros (Mohéli), established in 2016. ForexLicenses.com classifies it as tier 4 (light / offshore). We currently match 1 broker in our database to an MISA licence.

MISA issues international brokerage licences from the island of Mohéli in the Comoros. The regime has minimal capital and supervisory requirements, and a MISA licence should be treated as offering very limited practical protection.
