Finding

Category I licence for Tickmill South Africa (Pty) Ltd, limited to intermediary services (no advice) in shares, derivatives and forex. It is not an over-the-counter derivative provider licence. Tickmill links only to the FSCA home page; the entry is on the FSCA's FSP search. Client protection: FAIS complaints process for the intermediary. It does not by itself make the local firm your trading counterparty. Effective: 9 Oct 2019.

FSCA is classed as an offshore regime. An offshore registration can be entirely legitimate, but it typically means lower capital requirements, no compensation scheme, and a complaint route that is harder to use from abroad.
