Octa (formerly OctaFX)
3 legal entities are on file for this firm, across 3 jurisdictions. The strongest supervision on file is Tier 2.
Caution means: The group holds a licence we could verify, but the record shows a caveat you have to read: an offshore entity in the same structure, a registration that is not a financial licence, or leverage well above tier-1 retail caps.
Every entity on file is offshore. There is no tier-1 authority supervising the account you would open.
A group can hold a tier-1 licence and still onboard you through an offshore entity in the same structure. The licence protects clients of the entity that holds it — not every client of the brand. Check which company name appears on your own client agreement, then look that company up in the table below.

Scroll the register sideways — the entity column stays pinned.
1 row is a company registration, not financial supervision
A registration number issued by a company registry — St Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, the Marshall Islands, a BVI or Comoros IBC — records only that a company exists. It carries no conduct supervision, no client-money segregation requirement and no compensation scheme. Rows marked company registration above are printed because the firm cites them, not because they protect you.
