Anjouan (AOFA) Regulated Forex Brokers

Twelve brokers in the WIKILIX database hold a licence from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, the AOFA, the body that registers offshore financial firms on the Comorian island of Anjouan. This page lists every one of them, ordered by overall WIKILIX score. Read the order before you read the names: the highest score here is 33.3 and the lowest is 13.3, so an Anjouan licence on its own is not a mark of quality. It is a registration, and a light one.

The list is built from our licence records rather than curated by hand, so a broker that gains or drops an Anjouan registration appears or disappears without anyone editing this page. The score behind the order weighs recorded regulation and operating history, not spreads or execution. Grand Markets sits top at 33.3 and is the only one of the twelve that also holds a tier-1 licence, from Australia's ASIC. Six of the twelve hold a second licence at all: four pair Anjouan with Indonesia's BAPPEBTI, ICE Markets adds Malaysia's LFSA, and Grand Markets adds ASIC. The other six carry the Anjouan registration and nothing else in our records.

The register spreads wider than its name suggests. Only five of the twelve are headquartered in the Comoros; the rest sit in the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Saint Vincent and Saint Lucia and hold Anjouan as an add-on. Six opened in 2021 or later, while the oldest, DeltaFX, dates to 2002. Three carry our "offshore" status label rather than a clean "regulation" one: DeltaFX, Vonway and GMZ Global.

What an Anjouan licence actually is

In the WIKILIX tier model, AOFA is a tier-3, offshore authority. Tier three is the level we record for regulators that let a firm operate but set low bars for capital and for client-money segregation, and that supervise from a jurisdiction with limited enforcement reach. An Anjouan registration confirms a company exists on a register. It does not put a compensation scheme behind your balance, and it gives you no national ombudsman to appeal to if a withdrawal stalls.

What this list does not tell you

An Anjouan licence says nothing about whether a broker will accept you as a client. Our records are organised by the licences a firm holds and by where it is domiciled, not by the countries it onboards from, so you still have to read each broker's own terms for your country. The list also does not rank spreads or withdrawal reliability, because we hold no such fields. DeltaFX and QMMFX score within two points of each other while one sits in the United Kingdom and the other in the Comoros; the number does not tell you which fills an order better, only how each looks on paper.

Before you open an account with an Anjouan-licensed broker

• Find the exact licensed entity. The company on the register, Xenom Group LTD behind the GMZ Global brand or LQH Integrated Ltd behind LQH Markets, is the one you contract with, not the trading name on the site.
• Match the licence number against the AOFA register yourself before depositing. A logo is not a licence.
• Read a 1:1000 figure as a risk setting, not a feature. Four brokers here advertise it, and it magnifies a loss as fast as a gain.
• Check whether the firm holds a stronger licence elsewhere. Grand Markets pairs Anjouan with ASIC; if that entity is the one covering your account, its rules are what protect you.
