Financial Services Authority (FSA)
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) oversees the non-bank financial services sector, including International Business Companies (IBCs). While SVG has become a popular location for registering offshore forex brokers, the FSA does not regulate forex trading activities, issue brokerage licenses, or provide investor protections.
The FSA of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines offers company registration services but does not regulate forex brokers. Firms claiming FSA SVG licensing are not supervised for trading conduct, making them a high-risk choice. Traders are strongly advised to choose brokers regulated by Tier-1 authorities with legal protections and transparent oversight.
