About this ASIC licence

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

ETORO AUS CAPITAL LIMITED holds Australian financial services licence 491139 from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). ETORO AUS CAPITAL LIMITED is one of the registered companies of the eToro group. On 13 November 2026, the ASIC register showed licence 491139 with the status CURRENT.

ASIC is the Australian government regulator that licenses financial services businesses. Licence 491139 is a permission to run a financial services business, not a company registration. Under conditions dated 15 April 2025, the licence holder may deal in foreign exchange contracts and derivatives, meaning contracts whose value follows another asset. The licence holder may also make a market in foreign exchange contracts and derivatives, meaning the licence holder quotes the prices clients trade at. The conditions cover retail clients, meaning ordinary investors, and wholesale clients, meaning larger or professional investors.

An ASIC register entry says nothing about the finances or conduct of ETORO AUS CAPITAL LIMITED. Licence 491139 belongs to ETORO AUS CAPITAL LIMITED, not to eToro (UK) Ltd. The ASIC licence does not automatically cover other eToro companies.

The ASIC record shows a start date of 4 September 2017 and no expiry date. The ASIC record also shows Australian Company Number 612 791 803 and the website https://www.etoro.com/. ASIC lists the principal place of business at 60 Castlereagh Street in Sydney. The ASIC name history shows CROSS COUNTRY CAPITAL PTY LTD until 26 July 2018. The name history then shows ETORO AUS CAPITAL PTY LTD until 19 May 2021.

To check the licence, search for 491139 on the ASIC Professional Registers Search at service.asic.gov.au/search. Check that the Register column reads Australian financial services licensees. If ASIC suspends or cancels licence 491139, the status on the register will no longer read CURRENT. A change of company name would appear in the ASIC name history.

Most Popular Questions
Licence 491139 was issued by Australia Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC), the financial authority for Australia.
eToro holds this ASIC licence. A licence on record means the authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement.
We located this entry on the ASIC register. Note that confirming a register ENTRY is not the same as confirming a live licence — the register’s own wording on this page is what states its current standing.
The ASIC register prints it under ETORO AUS CAPITAL LIMITED, not eToro. 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.
Wikilix rates ASIC tier 1 — the strictest band, with high capital requirements, segregated client money and a compensation scheme.
This page links straight to the ASIC register. Search it for 491139, and for the name ETORO AUS CAPITAL LIMITED rather than the trading brand.
