Forex Brokers Based in Belize

Eighteen brokers in the WIKILIX records give a registered head office in Belize, and this page lists every one of them, ordered by overall score. Read the boundary before the list. This is where each company is incorporated, not where it holds its main licence and not a statement about which countries it accepts clients from. A firm can be registered in Belize and licensed somewhere else, and a broker that markets heavily to Belizean traders may sit on our Cyprus or Australia page instead.

That distinction carries more weight here than on most country pages, because a Belize address is an offshore address. Three of the eighteen carry our plain regulated status. Fourteen carry a warning of some kind and one has no status on record: one firm is flagged as a scam, three as suspicious clones, four as operating without regulation, four as offshore, and two as having exceeded their authorisation. Score is not a safety rating, and Belize shows why. Bolet holds the third-highest score on the page at 58.6 and is still flagged as a scam.

What a Belize registration actually means

Belize licenses forex firms through its Financial Services Commission, renamed from the International Financial Services Commission (IFSC) under a 2023 reform. Eleven of the eighteen firms here list an FSC licence. It is an offshore regime, which in practice means lighter capital rules than an onshore authority applies and leverage caps the largest regulators would never allow. Ten of these brokers offer 1:1000 or more, and FBS reaches 1:3000. A broker held to the UK or Australian rules is capped at 1:30 on major currency pairs for retail clients.

Longevity is thinner than the marketing suggests. The oldest firms on the page, FBS and RoboForex, both date to 2009, and eleven of the eighteen opened before 2015. Two give no opening date at all. Eight hold licences from two or more authorities, and only four hold one from a top-tier regulator: SuperForex and CPT Markets each carry an FCA entry, and FBS and Bolet each carry an ASIC entry. A tier-1 entry against an offshore firm is usually a licence held by a separate group company, not the Belize entity you would actually open an account with.

Who you won't find on this page

Several brokers sold to traders as Belize brokers hold a Belize FSC licence through a subsidiary while the group is incorporated somewhere else. Because this list is built on registered head office, those firms appear under the country where they are actually based, our Cyprus, Seychelles and Australia pages among them, rather than here. If you came looking for a large well-known name and cannot find it, that is usually why: the Belize entity is a licence, not the home address. Two entries here, both recorded as RS Global Ltd under the SCOPE and Scope Markets brands, show the reverse case, one operator appearing twice.

Before you fund a Belize-registered account

• Check which legal entity your account agreement names. A Belize company and a same-brand European company can offer very different protection.
• Confirm the FSC licence number on Belize's own register, not on a number quoted by the broker's website.
• Read a 1:1000 or higher leverage offer as a sign of the offshore regime rather than a feature, since it is permitted here because client-protection rules are lighter.
• Read the status label on each card below before the score. Fourteen of these firms carry a warning that matters more than a mid-range number.
• Ask where a dispute would be heard. An offshore registration can leave you without the compensation scheme an onshore licence would include.
