One hundred and fifty-one brokers in the WIKILIX database give a registered address in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. That address is a company registration and not a trading licence. The Financial Services Authority in Kingstown registers companies and supervises parts of the local financial sector, but it does not license or monitor forex and CFD dealing, which is why 53 of the 151 firms on this page have no licence from any regulator recorded against them at all.
Where the boundary of this list sits
The single filter is domicile: the country of the registered office we hold for each broker. It is not where the firm is licensed, and it is not where it accepts clients from, because neither of those is a field this database stores. So the page answers one question precisely. Which brokers tell us their company sits in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?
Many of these records do carry a licence from somewhere else. Thirty of the 151 have two or more authorities recorded and 68 have exactly one, with XS Trades LTD holding the longest list at seven and Long Asia Group Ltd recording five. Read that as information rather than as reassurance. Where a firm is registered in one country and licensed in another, the company named on your account agreement may not be the licensed one, and the licence may belong to a sister entity you never trade with.
How we built this list
Domicile equal to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, sorted by WIKILIX score, highest first. Nothing is filtered out, including firms carrying a warning label, because a list of offshore registrations that quietly drops its worst entries misrepresents the jurisdiction it claims to describe. The score combines what we hold on a broker's licences, its recorded operating history, its platform and account detail and the reports users have filed against it. It measures how much verifiable record exists, not how well an order fills. Scores here run from 0 to 68.2 with a median of 37.2, and nine firms sit at exactly zero because we hold almost nothing on them. ALTAIR MARKETS leads at 68.2, with an FCA entry recorded and no opening date at all.

Seventy of the 151 therefore carry a label a reader should open before depositing. Age is not much of a counterweight here: only 16 records show an opening date before 2010, while 62 show 2020 or later. The oldest is TeleTrade at 1994. United Strategic International LLC, listed as USG, dates to 2005 and records licences from three authorities, while Anzo Capital carries the offshore label against a 2015 opening date and leverage of 1:1000.
Brokers you might expect here, and where they are instead
Several well known offshore names sit in the database under a different registered address. Exness is recorded in Cyprus, JustMarkets in Seychelles, IC Markets in Australia, RoboForex in Belize and Titan FX in Vanuatu. None of them appears below, and their absence says nothing about them beyond where the paperwork sits. Going the other way, Markets.com appears here as Finalto International Limited and Libertex as Forex Club International LLC, each with a CySEC licence on the record and a Kingstown address on the company.
Checks worth making before you fund an account
- Read the company name on the account agreement, then look for that exact name on the register of the authority whose badge the website shows, such as the FCA register.
- Treat a licence number printed on a broker's own site as a claim to verify, not as evidence.
- Confirm which entity holds client money, and under which country's law a complaint would be heard.
- Compare the leverage on offer against that entity: 47 of these records list 1:1000 or higher, far above the caps the FCA and ASIC apply to retail accounts.
- Check the registration itself with the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines FSA, remembering that a certificate of registration is not a dealing licence.
What this page cannot tell you is worth stating plainly. It holds no spreads, no execution data, no deposit methods and nothing about which countries a broker will onboard clients from. It reflects the addresses and licences recorded in the WIKILIX database as of today, and a record can lag reality, so confirm anything that matters on the issuing regulator's own register before you deposit.

This page rebuilds itself from the domicile field, so a broker that moves its registered office, or a new registration we add, changes the list without anyone editing this text. The figures written into the copy above were measured on the day it was built and are recomputed when the page is refreshed.
Two things will reshape it over time. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines tightened its rules on companies doing forex business in 2023, and firms that re-register elsewhere drop off this list rather than appear as reformed. Records also improve: some of the 53 entries with no regulator recorded are thin rather than proven unlicensed, and where a licence is later verified the broker moves up the score order.
If you came here to work out what a licence is worth, the contrast is more useful than the list itself. FCA regulated brokers and ASIC regulated brokers cover firms holding a tier-1 licence, where retail leverage is capped and a complaints route exists. CySEC regulated brokers sits between the two, and FSCA regulated brokers covers the South African authority that 17 of the firms on this page also record.
Verify any licence on the issuing regulator's own register before you deposit. A registration in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is not one.

Seventy of the 151. That breaks down as 58 recorded with no regulation, 6 marked as exceeding the scope of a licence, 5 flagged as suspicious clones and 1 recorded as a scam. A further 35 carry the neutral offshore label, 42 carry a regulation label, and 4 have no status recorded. These are WIKILIX's own recorded labels, not findings by any regulator.
Because for years it asked very little of them. Incorporation is quick and no dealing licence was required to run a brokerage from there, which suited firms that wanted a corporate address without a supervisor attached to it. The pattern shows in the dates: 62 of the 151 records here show an opening date of 2020 or later.
TeleTrade, with a recorded opening date of 1994. It is an outlier: only 16 of the 151 records show an opening date before 2010, and 62 show 2020 or later. Five records carry no opening date at all. Length of operation is derived from that single field, so a firm without one is absent from those counts rather than treated as new.
Not these, as a rule. Six of the 151 firms registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines have an FCA entry recorded against them, including ALTAIR MARKETS and United Strategic International LLC. An FCA entry sitting on an offshore registered firm often relates to a different group company, so check the exact entity name on the FCA register before reading it as UK protection.
This page cannot answer that, and it is worth being clear why. The list is built on registered address, not on where a broker is licensed or which clients it accepts. 17 of the 151 firms here do record an FSCA licence, but that is not the same as a list of FSCA authorised brokers, and the FSCA's own register is where to confirm any single entity.
None that comes from the registration itself, because there is no local conduct supervision of dealing and no local investor compensation scheme. Any protection has to come from a licence held elsewhere by the specific entity you contract with. Thirty of these 151 firms record two or more authorities, 68 record exactly one, and 53 record none.
No. The Financial Services Authority in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines registers companies and issues certificates of incorporation, but it does not license or supervise forex and CFD dealing, and it operates no compensation scheme for trading losses. A firm can be lawfully registered there and hold no dealing licence anywhere, which is the case for 53 of the 151 on this page.
151 in the WIKILIX database today. That is the count of brokers whose registered office we hold as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and the list is generated from that field rather than maintained by hand. A firm that changes its registered address appears or disappears without anyone editing the page, so the number moves.
