VFSC regulated forex brokers

Vanuatu Financial Services Commission · 🇻🇺 Vanuatu

The Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) is the financial regulator for Vanuatu, established in 1993. ForexLicenses.com classifies it as tier 4 (light / offshore). We currently match 42 brokers in our database to an VFSC licence.

Vanuatu raised its capital and substance requirements for securities dealers in 2019, forcing many shell brokers out, but it remains an offshore regime without compensation arrangements. Brands including Vantage, Fusion Markets and Titan FX have used Vanuatu entities.
