Check the local authorities, licensed entities, client-protection limits and official complaint routes for Australia.
An Australian broker check should match the full legal entity and AFSL in ASIC’s professional registers. Company registration, ABN, ACN and AFSL serve different purposes and are not interchangeable; also confirm status, authorised activities and registered website.
ASIC regulates Australian financial services and market conduct. An international brand may allocate customers to different entities, so a brand holding an AFSL does not prove that you will contract with its Australian licensed entity.
Australian retail CFDs are subject to product-intervention conditions, but there is no statutory investor compensation scheme. Money arrangements, dispute handling and protections still depend on the product, customer status and contracting entity.
Match the entity in the client agreement to the AFSL record and confirm that it may provide the relevant service. Finding only a company registration number without the corresponding AFSL does not establish financial-services authorisation.
Complain formally to the licensed entity first and keep records. If unresolved, use ASIC guidance to identify the applicable external dispute-resolution or reporting channel.
This list reflects only locally licensed relationships verified in our database. It does not prove that a broker accepts every location or client category; confirm the contracting entity before opening an account.
