SCB regulated forex brokers
Securities Commission of The Bahamas · 🇧🇸 Bahamas
The Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB) is the financial regulator for Bahamas, established in 1995. ForexLicenses.com classifies it as tier 3 (moderate regulation). We currently match 10 brokers in our database to an SCB licence.
The SCB regulates securities business in The Bahamas and has become a common base for the international entities of reputable broker groups, including Pepperstone, Capital.com, FxPro and Eightcap. It is regarded as more robust than typical offshore registrars but offers no compensation scheme or leverage caps.
