68.2Score
Ten brokers hold the highest WIKILIX scores among the 33 firms we record with a registered office in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines that clear a score of 50. They are ranked below by that score alone, and each one carries a clean status on our records. The address itself settles almost nothing: Saint Vincent does not license forex brokers, so the oversight that counts sits with the foreign authorities each firm also answers to. ALTAIR MARKETS leads on 68.2, WEALTH WAY follows on 62.1, and Orfinex closes the ten on 52.1.

Why the licence line matters more than the address
A Saint Vincent registration is a company registration, nothing more. Firms incorporate there as an LLC or an international business company, and the local Financial Services Authority neither authorises nor supervises their trading. That is the whole point of the jurisdiction for many operators, and it is why a "regulated in Saint Vincent" claim reads as marketing rather than fact. Every broker above earned its place on the WIKILIX score, which weighs a firm's regulation and trading history, and each had to hold a clean status to be listed. The score says nothing about pricing or execution, and it cannot tell you whether a firm suits you.
Nine of the ten hold a tier-1 licence abroad
What separates this group from the rest of the Saint Vincent field is a real licence somewhere else. Nine of the ten record at least one tier-1 authorisation, most often the FCA in the United Kingdom or ASIC in Australia, and a few reach further. LONG ASIA lists five regulators including Singapore's MAS, and USG, the oldest name here at a 2005 opening, pairs the FCA with South Africa's FSCA. Markets.com is the exception, resting on a single CySEC licence from Cyprus, which sits a tier below. That second licence is usually where a trader's protection actually lives, because a Saint Vincent registration carries no compensation scheme and no guaranteed separation of client money.
The higher scores that are not here
A score above 50 is not a clean bill of health, and 21 of the 33 qualifying firms lack the clean status this list requires. Anzo Capital scored 56.6 and ETER WEALTH 56.1, both above several names in the final ten, yet one is marked offshore and the other carries no regulation on record. NBH Markets, flagged as a suspected clone, scored 55.4. More telling still, 13 of the 33 name no foreign regulator at all, and on this domicile that is the group to treat with the most care. The ten shown are the highest scorers left once the flagged firms are set aside, and across the clean group the median score is 54.3.
Before you fund a Saint Vincent registered account
- Find the foreign licence, because there is no Saint Vincent one to check. The register that matters is the FCA's, ASIC's or whichever authority the firm names, not a local number.
- Match the licensed company to the entity taking your deposit. A broker can market a familiar brand while booking your account to the Saint Vincent shell, where an onshore regulator's reach stops.
- Weigh the leverage against your own risk. Five of the ten record a ceiling of 1:500 and three reach 1:1000, and a higher cap enlarges a loss as fast as a gain.
- Expect no local safety net. There is no compensation scheme and no segregation guarantee behind a Saint Vincent registration on its own.

Score order shifts as WIKILIX rechecks each licence and status, so this is the ranking that held on the day the page was built rather than a fixed table. A firm that loses its clean status drops off, and one that adds a heavier licence abroad can climb. The Saint Vincent register records only that a company exists, so it is never the place to confirm a broker's oversight.
Because almost every name here leans on a licence issued somewhere else, the rankings for those regulators are the natural next read. The top FCA regulated brokers and top ASIC regulated brokers cover the two authorities named most often above. For another offshore registration hub that works the same way, see the brokers based in Belize, and for a neighbouring offshore regime, the top FSA (Seychelles) regulated brokers. Whichever you open, confirm the licence number on the regulator's own register, and check which company entity your account is booked to before you deposit. Saint Vincent publishes its registry of registered entities at the Financial Services Authority.

Most Popular Questions
This list cannot tell you. It ranks firms by where they are registered and by the licences on our records, not by which countries each one accepts clients from. A broker may welcome traders in one region and refuse them in another, and offshore firms change those terms often. Read the broker's own client agreement, and confirm it holds a licence valid where you live before funding anything.
Little beyond a local company. Brokers incorporate as an LLC or an international business company, with no trading licence attached and no capital rules of the kind an onshore regulator imposes. Saint Vincent's authority has publicly pressed such firms to show a licence from a regulator in the markets they serve, and that is the licence worth verifying. The registration on its own confirms only that the company exists.
Because a status flag outweighs a score here. Anzo Capital scored 56.6 and ETER WEALTH 56.1, both higher than several names that made the ten, but one is marked offshore and the other carries no regulation on record. NBH Markets, flagged as a suspected clone, scored 55.4. The list keeps only firms with a clean recorded status, then ranks those by score.
Registration in Saint Vincent adds no protection by itself, so safety turns on the licence a firm holds elsewhere. Nine of these ten answer to at least one tier-1 regulator, which is what a Saint Vincent registration cannot provide. Across the wider group of 33, though, 13 name no foreign regulator, and several carry clone or no-regulation flags. Check the outside licence before you judge any of them.
ALTAIR MARKETS, on a WIKILIX score of 68.2, tops the list by a clear margin over WEALTH WAY on 62.1. Both record only a single FCA licence against a Saint Vincent registration. The score reflects a firm's regulation and trading history on our records, and it is the only measure used to order this page. It does not rate pricing or execution.
USG, trading as United Strategic International, records a 2005 opening date, the earliest of the ten. It also holds three foreign licences on our records, from the FCA, South Africa's FSCA and an FSA. Most of the list is far younger: IM Markets dates to 2023, and ALTAIR MARKETS, the top scorer, has no opening date recorded at all.
No. Saint Vincent does not license or supervise forex brokers. Firms register there as companies through the Financial Services Authority, which oversees corporate registration rather than trading conduct. That is why any broker advertising itself as regulated in Saint Vincent is stretching the word. The real supervision, where it exists, comes from a foreign authority such as the FCA or ASIC that the firm is separately licensed by.
Ten. They are the highest-scoring firms among the 33 registered in Saint Vincent that clear a WIKILIX score of 50 and carry a clean status. The other 23 either scored lower or hold a status a trader should read first, and 13 of the 33 name no foreign regulator at all. The ranking runs from ALTAIR MARKETS at 68.2 down to Orfinex at 52.1.
