Loyal Primus advertises that it is fully regulated by the FSCA in South Africa. Its contract says something else: clause 2 makes an International Business Company in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines the company you deal with.
Why this matters
You would be contracting with a Saint Vincent company, not a South African one. The FSCA rulebook and its complaints route are not yours to use. Clause 19.1 points you to an ombudsman in Saint Vincent instead.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.
The company is authorized as an International Business Company under the International Business Companies (Amendment and Consolidation) Act 15 of 2016 and registered as Loyal Primus LTD.
Firms the FSCA licenses in South Africa deal with clients through the licensed entity, and the licence covers that entity's business. Every legal document here names a company incorporated in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
LOYAL PRIMUS is not licensed by this regulator, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Brokers that run two entities normally say so and tell you which one you are signing with. Here no legal document mentions the FSCA or South Africa at all, so nothing in the contract connects the advertised licence to the company taking your money.
- Worse together with Exhibit 9Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.The advertised regulator is in South Africa while the clause that decides disputes sends you to courts in Saint Vincent.
