FSA Seychelles: where most SEA retail accounts actually live.

Financial Services Authority Seychelles · est. 2013
OffshorePublic register

Many of the biggest brokers in Southeast Asia onboard retail clients through a Seychelles-licensed entity, even when a tier-1 licence sits on the homepage. The FSA licenses securities dealers and keeps a public register, but there is no investor compensation fund for forex clients and retail leverage is far less restricted than under tier-1 regulators.
