Warning lists

Warnings and unregistered-business lists published by financial regulators, shown as published with the source link. Type the address of a site that claims to be a broker, or a company name. For an address we tell you if it is an official address we hold, if it appears in a public warning list, or if we do not know. For a name we search the warning lists, quoted as published.

The check runs in your browser only. What you type is not sent anywhere and is not saved. For an address, only an exact match counts (the same address, with or without “www.”); a similar-looking address is not treated as a match. A name search also shows similar names, so a result is not proof that a company you know is the one listed: compare the web address and the source.

    Regulators behind the brokers we list

    Each card links to the regulator’s own public register, and shows the public list we hold from it, with the date we fetched it and a source link. We do not grade, score or rank regulators; the order is by country and name. A regulator’s presence here does not say a broker is safe.
