The Financial Markets Authority licenses derivatives issuers in New Zealand. Firms must also appear on the Financial Service Providers Register.
What it means for a retail trader
A derivatives issuer licence carries conduct, capital and client money obligations. Simple registration on the FSP Register is not the same as being licensed by the FMA, so check which one a firm actually holds.
How to check a firm
Search the firm’s legal name or licence number on the official register linked above. Confirm that the name, the number and the website on the register match the firm you are dealing with, and that its permissions cover the product you want to trade. Clone firms often borrow a real firm’s name and number but use a different web address.
