Check the local authorities, licensed entities, client-protection limits and official complaint routes for United States.
US retail-forex checks begin with the legal entity, not the brand’s address. Confirm the required CFTC registration and the relevant NFA membership or registration status, then match the entity name, NFA ID, category, current status and disciplinary history in official tools.
The CFTC is the federal derivatives regulator; NFA is the industry self-regulatory organisation responsible for member oversight. Their roles work together, and a US address or company registration does not replace the required derivatives registration.
Retail forex does not automatically receive SIPC protection under securities-account rules. Client-money treatment, leverage limits and service eligibility depend on the product, registration category, customer status and contracting entity.
Ask the platform to name the legal entity serving you, then match it in NFA BASIC and the CFTC check tool. Stop before funding if the exact entity cannot be found or its status does not match the claim.
For impersonation, unregistered solicitation, withdrawal obstruction or misleading claims, preserve contracts, payment records, domains, messages and account screenshots, then use the official NFA or CFTC complaint 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.
