Verification note

Confirmed on the ACPR register as Aurel - BGC (Entreprise d'Investissement — Prestataire de services d'investissement). Licence number and registration number. The REGAFI record prints Siren / ID National 652051178 and Codes CIB 45340. These are the two numbers in our stored licence number 'CIB 45340 (SIREN 652051178)'. Siren 652051178 also equals the corporates[] registrationNumber '652 051 178' of AUREL BGC (France), and the record's seat is in France (15-17 rue Vivienne, 75002 PARIS , FRANCE). The entity type is Personne morale, so the CIB belongs to a French firm and not to a passport branch. The register records the licence as effective from 11 October 1996.

About this ACPR licence

What this authorisation is, what it establishes, and what it leaves open.

A French authorisation dated 11/10/1996 is what REGAFI, the register of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR), shows for Aurel - BGC (SIREN 652051178), listed as an investment firm, Entreprise d'Investissement, with establishment code (CIB) 45340. As at this check on 23 October 2026, the register's data marked that authorisation ACTIF and the record showed no withdrawal notice.

The ACPR is the French prudential supervisor attached to the Banque de France and grants the agrément of French investment firms. Because REGAFI lists firms passported in from other EEA states in the same layout, the entry type matters: this is a Personne morale with the Prestataire de services d'investissement speciality, a French authorisation. Its services matrix covers Recep./Transm. ordres, Execution d'ordres, Négoc. cpte. propre, Conseil en investissement, Prise ferme, Placement garanti and Placement non garanti, plus Exploitation SON for some instruments, but not Gestion portefeuille or Exploitation SMN.

An entry establishes an authorisation and its scope, not solvency or conduct. The authorisation is held by the company Aurel - BGC, one of the broker's registered corporate entities, and covers that legal entity rather than every website or affiliate using the Aurel BGC name.

The record printed trade names BGC EU, GFI EU and LATIUM EU, a seat at 15-17 rue Vivienne, Paris, CIB 45340 dated 10/06/1996 and a Compensation d'instruments financiers permission dated 24/11/2003. It printed no expiry date, no telephone number and no status word; REGAFI flags only an authorisation being withdrawn.

To check it, search regafi.fr for SIREN 652051178 or CIB 45340, open the Aurel - BGC record and confirm it still reads Personne morale with the authorisation under Autorisations en France. A withdrawn French authorisation is removed rather than relabelled, so the answer changes if the record disappears, shows a withdrawal notice or moves to another name or SIREN.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

Answered from this register entry and the authority’s own record.

Most Popular Questions

Treat it as unverified until you have checked it directly. Confirm with the French supervisory authorities that the entity contacting you holds the permissions it claims, and confirm you are dealing with AUREL BGC, SIREN 652 051 178, and not a lookalike using the name. Do not transfer funds to an account you were given privately, and stop if you are pressed to act quickly.

No client money protection could be confirmed. Segregation of client funds, membership of an investor compensation scheme and the scope of any supervision all remain unestablished, and corporate registration in France carries none of them by itself.

No telephone number, support email address or live chat channel could be confirmed for Aurel BGC. The registered office of the operating company is 15-17 Rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France, and that address is the one verifiable contact point on the public record.

No country policy could be established. Neither a restricted jurisdictions list nor an accepted countries list was available to read, so this profile records no blocked and no accepted jurisdictions rather than implying the firm restricts nobody.

No leverage figure is published for Aurel BGC. No retail trading conditions of any kind, including maximum leverage, spreads or commissions, were established in this research.

No deposit or withdrawal channel is published for Aurel BGC. No payment methods, fees, limits or processing times could be established, which follows from there being no retail account product found in the first place. Do not send funds on the strength of an instruction you received privately.

No trading platform is recorded for Aurel BGC. Nothing found in this research links the brand to MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader or a proprietary retail platform.

No minimum deposit is published for Aurel BGC, because no retail account product was found. There is no account tier, no funding minimum and no deposit page associated with the brand in this research.

No retail forex or contract for difference offering was found. The company is described as an intermediation house in bonds, money market instruments, equities, listed and over the counter derivatives, structured products and corporate finance, and its registered activity code 66.19B covers auxiliary financial services rather than retail dealing. Its counterparties appear to be institutions rather than individual traders.

The operating company was created on 1 January 1965 according to the French national company register. That is a very long operating record by the standards of the retail trading industry, and it is registry evidence rather than a marketing claim.

Nothing found in this research suggests a fabricated operation. The company behind the brand is real, long established and currently registered in France at a verifiable address. The caution is different in kind: no financial licence was confirmed, and the firm does not appear to run a retail trading service, so an approach offering you a personal Aurel BGC trading account is the thing to verify before you act on it.

Aurel BGC is the trading name of AUREL BGC, a French societe par actions simplifiee registered under SIREN 652 051 178 at 15-17 Rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris. The company is currently active on the French national register. A Monegasque affiliate, S.A.M. AUREL BGC MONACO, carries the same brand at 5 Av. Saint-Michel, Villa Claude, 98000 Monaco.

No financial services licence for Aurel BGC was confirmed in this research. The brand is presented as an authorised French investment services provider, but that is a claim we could not confirm against a supervisory authority's own record, and no licence number, type or validity period could be established. What was confirmed is corporate registration in France, which is not the same thing as financial regulation.
