Finding

An offshore brokerage and clearing licence issued on the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros, covering foreign exchange, crypto asset and insurance trading. Anjouan runs a light-touch regime: it registers and lists licensees but does not supervise retail trading conduct and operates no investor compensation scheme. Client protection: Very low. No compensation scheme, no retail conduct rules and no practical dispute route for a client whose funds are withheld. Effective: 6 Dec 2024. Expires: 29 Aug 2027.
