CautionRECORD BW-4000LICENSED — WITH A STRUCTURAL CAVEAT

STARTRADER

7 legal entities are on file for this firm, across 7 jurisdictions. The strongest supervision on file is Tier 1.

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.

Jurisdiction gap — read this before you deposit

Holds a tier-1 ASIC licence, but also operates 4 offshore entities. Which one your account sits under determines the protection you get.

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.

Paste any number above into the named authority's own search. If a number a firm advertises does not return that firm on the authority's register, treat the claim as unverified.
