AMF Regulated Brokers: The Complete List

Twelve brokers in the WIKILIX database carry an authorisation from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), and only one of them, ProRealTime SAS, is actually headquartered in France. The other eleven reach French traders the way most regulated firms do across the EU: they hold a licence somewhere in the European Economic Area and passport it into France under MiFID. This page lists all twelve, ranked by WIKILIX score, and marks the three that carry a warning label rather than dropping them.

The scores run from a top of 84.8 down to 40.5, with a median of 58.5. Ebury Partners Markets Ltd sits first: it opened in 2009 and holds six authorities at once, the FCA, ASIC, SFC, FINTRAC, DFSA and the AMF. The longest-established entry is Société Générale, with a recorded opening date of 1864, which lists the AMF alongside three United States authorities. Six of the twelve opened before 2010, so this is not a list of new arrivals. Five also hold a UK FCA licence, and that repetition is the pattern here. An AMF line rarely travels alone.

What an AMF authorisation actually means for a French trader

The AMF is France's financial markets regulator. A firm shown here as AMF-authorised is cleared to offer services in France, directly or through an EEA passport, and that brings the MiFID conduct rules, client-money segregation, and a place on the AMF's public REGAFI register. What it does not tell you is which legal entity you would open an account with. Admirals appears here as Admirals SC Ltd, a Seychelles company holding nine authorities including the AMF, yet the entity a French client signs with may be a different one in the same group. Confirm the company named on your agreement before you fund it.

The three entries we have flagged

Not every firm citing an AMF connection is one to treat as safe. Three of the twelve carry a WIKILIX status warning: NSBroker is recorded as a scam, while Triomarkets and WH Selfinvest are marked as suspicious clones, meaning the branding appears to imitate an authorised firm. NSBroker scores 67 on our scale despite that label, which is exactly why a score on its own is never the whole picture. Read the status before the number.

Before you open an account with any AMF-listed broker

• Search the exact company name on REGAFI, the AMF's official register, and check the AMF blacklist for the trading name and website.
• Confirm which group entity your contract names; an AMF line on the parent does not extend to a Seychelles or Vanuatu subsidiary.
• Ask whether you are onboarded under the French or EEA licence or under an offshore one, because the leverage cap and compensation cover differ sharply between them.
• Treat a headline figure like Admirals' 1:1000 as an offshore entity's number; the EEA retail cap is far lower.

This reflects the AMF entries recorded in the WIKILIX database as of today. It does not measure spreads, execution quality, deposit methods, or whether a given firm currently accepts clients from your country. Confirm any authorisation on the AMF's own register before you deposit.
