CFDs and leveraged forex are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

The Financial Services Authority of Seychelles licenses Securities Dealers. Many global broker brands onboard clients from outside Europe, the UK and Australia through a Seychelles entity.

What it means for a retail trader

This is an offshore licence. Expect high leverage, few restrictions on bonuses, and no compensation scheme. Negative balance protection, where offered, is the broker’s own policy and not a regulatory guarantee.

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.
