Introduction

The Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) is the licensing body of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, part of the Union of the Comoros. AOFA offers offshore forex licenses to brokers and financial firms seeking quick market entry and low-cost regulation. While appealing to startup brokers, the Anjouan license is widely seen as unregulated or lightly supervised, offering minimal investor protection.

 

The Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) issues fast, low-cost forex licenses that lack oversight, transparency, and investor protection. These licenses are often associated with high-risk or fraudulent brokers and are not considered valid by Tier-1 jurisdictions. Traders should avoid brokers relying solely on AOFA licenses and seek regulation under reputable authorities like FCA, ASIC, or CySEC.

How to verify regulation?
  1. There is no public license database
  2. Request documentation from the broker and conduct third-party validation (high risk)
  3. Be highly cautious of any broker claiming “Anjouan license” as their only credential
