Verification note

Confirmed on the AMF-France register as Aurel - BGC (Entreprise d'Investissement — Agrément). SIREN: the REGAFI record prints 'Siren / ID National 652051178'. This equals the registrationNumber '652 051 178' of the corporates[] entry 'AUREL BGC' (France), comparing digits only. It is also the number stored on this licence row ('SIREN 652051178'). The printed seat '15-17 rue Vivienne, 75002 PARIS , FRANCE' also matches our corporates[] address '15-17 Rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France'. The register records the licence as effective from 11 October 1996.

About this AMF licence

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

As at this check on 23 October 2026, REGAFI, the register of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR), listed Aurel - BGC, a société par actions simplifiée with SIREN 652051178, as an investment firm (entreprise d'investissement). It holds an agrément for France dated 11/10/1996 under interbank code (CIB) 45340, and no withdrawal notice was shown. This licence record sits under the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the conduct supervisor.

According to the AMF, an investment-services authorisation in France is granted by the ACPR once the AMF has approved the firm's programme of operations. The AMF keeps no list of such firms and refers investors to REGAFI instead. The register tags this firm PSI, prestataire de services d'investissement.

A register entry shows that an authorisation is on record. It is not a finding on solvency or conduct. It also binds one legal entity: this agrément belongs to Aurel - BGC under SIREN 652051178. It does not cover the broker's separately incorporated Monaco company, and it does not automatically cover every website using the brand.

The record also printed the trade names BGC EU, GFI EU and LATIUM EU and a seat at 15-17 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris. Its services grid covers reception and transmission of orders, execution of orders, dealing on own account, investment advice, underwriting and placing, with contracts for difference among the instruments. It also covers operation of an organised trading facility for a narrower set of instruments. A clearing habilitation is dated 24/11/2003. The register printed no expiry date, no telephone number and no website.

To verify, search regafi.fr for SIREN 652051178 or CIB 45340, open the record and read its Autorisations en France tab. The answer changes if the authorisation leaves that tab, if a withdrawal notice (en cours de retrait) appears, or if the name or SIREN changes.

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.

Licence 45340 was issued by Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), the financial authority for France.

The AMF register prints it under Aurel - BGC, not Aurel BGC. Licences are often held by a subsidiary rather than the trading brand, which is why searching a register for the brand alone can return nothing.
