FSCA: a real conduct regulator, rarely the one covering SEA clients.
Financial Sector Conduct Authority · est. 2018
Tier 2Public register
South Africa's FSCA authorises financial service providers, including OTC derivative providers that offer CFDs, and enforces conduct-of-business rules. Several large brokers list an FSCA licence, but SEA retail clients are rarely onboarded through the South African entity. Check which entity your account sits under before counting the FSCA as your protection.
