Why is it necessary to obtain a forex/broker license?

The forex broker license registration is a special permit that a broker must obtain in order to work. Each country has its own complexity, cost, terms of obtaining a license, as well as the prestige of the territory itself. The major advantage of licensed vendors is the ability to openly advertise their services. All national regulators oblige them to provide clients with high-quality services and ensure their funds in case of bankruptcy. Therefore, if an enterprise has a license, then for a trader, it becomes a certain guarantee of its reliability. The certifying of the industry helps to reduce various speculations in the market.

Procedure for obtaining a forex license

Depending on the objectives and capabilities of your company, you should choose the most appropriate jurisdiction. If you are focused on the most favorable conditions, then Cyprus, Malta, island jurisdictions, etc., will be an excellent choice. If you are focused on privileged clients, you will have to follow the forex broker license process in Switzerland or the USA.
As with other businesses, it is worth developing a detailed business plan as well as a legal structure for the company or associated companies. This will be necessary when applying for a brokerage license, as well as when opening accounts and other preparatory work related to the forex broker license process.
In most cases, the company is established in the same jurisdiction where the license is obtained. This may be due to both the requirements of the regulator and the convenience of servicing and conducting the company’s business. But there are also other cases. For example, to obtain a brokerage license in the Comoros Islands, other jurisdictions are used to open a company to improve the situation with the opening of bank accounts, etc.. During this stage of the forex broker license process, it is essential to pay attention to the preparation of legal documentation required during the application for a license, including the company’s capital preparation for approval by the regulator.
This is the most important step in the forex broker license process as it determines whether the company is approved for a license. After the registration of the company, representatives apply for a forex brokerage license. The processing time depends on the workload of the regulator and its requirements. For example, a US or Swiss license may take a long time to process, while less reputable regulators might take only a few months. During the review, the regulator verifies that the company complies with the country’s legislation and meets all the licensing requirements.

Both for obtaining a license and for the subsequent operation of the company, anti-money laundering and terrorist financing strategies and policies need to be developed as part of the forex broker license process.

The authority will review your application and may request additional information or clarification. This process can take several months or longer. Upon approval, you will receive your forex brokerage license, completing the forex broker license process.
