UK readers: check the FCA Firm Reference Number

The UK FCA Financial Services Register contributes 340,990 firm rows to the BrokerMafia index (4 Oct 2026, 22:40 PKT snapshot; index total 8,629,143). That number is the whole register extract — banks, advisers, insurers, payment firms, and FX firms — not a count of forex brokers and not a league table.

An FRN (Firm Reference Number) is the ID the FCA prints on the Register for a firm. It is the thing to match, not the brand on an advertisement.

  1. Copy the legal name and the FRN from your account agreement or from the BrokerMafia source line.
  2. Search that FRN at https://register.fca.org.uk/.
  3. Read status. Authorised, registered, and appointed representative are different. "No longer authorised" means stop.
  4. Read permissions and any requirement or limitation. Permission for one activity is not permission for the product you were sold.
  5. If the firm is an appointed representative, open the principal firm and read that firm's permissions too.
  6. Match the legal entity, the FRN, and the website or address the Register shows. Clone sites copy an authorised firm's name and invent a different payment path.

An FRN match is not a statement that the product is suitable, that client money protection applies to every offering, or that BrokerMafia recommends the firm. An FCA permission does not by itself authorise a firm to solicit customers in the United States. The longer explanation is on https://brokermafia.com/fca-regulated-brokers/ and https://brokermafia.com/guides/fca-register/.

Questions

Are all 340,990 FCA rows forex brokers?

No. The FCA file covers many permissions. This forex hub is a separate rendered sample. Do not treat either number as a list of the best FX brokers in the UK.

What does a successful FRN check prove?

That the Register currently shows that number for a named legal entity, with the status and permissions printed there. It does not prove a clone website, a messaging account, or a BrokerMafia row is that entity.

Is a .co.uk domain an FRN?

No. Search the FRN. Many UK-facing sites have no FCA permission, and some FCA firms do not use a .co.uk domain.

How to use this Forex Broker index

FX / forex brokers offering spot, forward, and retail FX access.

This hub sits in Finance & Capital Markets. Coverage regions commonly associated with listings: US, UK, EU, AU, World. Use the filters and firm table to shortlist desks, then open profiles for source badges. BrokerMafia does not sell placements on this page.

Verification checklist

  • Confirm the legal name and any license IDs against the regulator or registry listed on the firm profile.
  • Check that the firm’s stated activity matches this broker category (Forex Broker).
  • Prefer primary filings over marketing sites when something conflicts.
  • Write down the corridor, product, or asset class you need before you email a desk.

Oversight context

Depending on activity and location (US, UK, EU, AU, World), oversight may sit with national or state regulators, self-regulatory organizations, or licensing boards. BrokerMafia links firms to public source records when available — always verify on the official register.

Also known as

FAQ

Is every firm here licensed?

No. Some entries come from public directories (name/slug coverage). Regulatory IDs appear when the source publishes them. Treat missing licenses as unknown, not approved.

How do I compare firms in this broker category?

Open any profile, use Compare, or filter this broker category in Search.

How often is data updated?

We re-ingest public registers and directory sitemaps periodically. Dates on source files vary by agency.

Does BrokerMafia recommend these firms?

No. Listings are navigational. Do your own verification on the issuing register.

What is a Forex Broker?

FX / forex brokers offering spot, forward, and retail FX access.

This vertical sits in the Finance & Capital Markets category. Regions commonly associated with listings here: US, UK, EU, AU, World. Also searched as: FX broker, foreign exchange broker, currency broker.

BrokerMafia indexes 8103 firms in this vertical from public regulatory files and public firm-directory sitemaps (names/slugs only where noted). We do not sell placements on this hub.

Buyers usually land on a forex broker hub when they already know the desk type and need a shortlist with visible provenance. Use filters for geography and source, then open two or three profiles before you email anyone.

Who regulates this vertical?

There is no single global license for every forex broker. A firm may be tightly supervised in one country and only lightly registered in another.

How to choose and verify

Compare at least two forex broker profiles side by side. Check whether identifiers differ and whether the legal name matches invoices.

  • Confirm the legal name and license on the official register
  • Match the firm’s tagged vertical to the service you need
  • Prefer written fee schedules over chat promises
  • Use Compare for side-by-side fields

What this page does not prove

Limits of this index: firm counts (8103) are offline build-time totals. Blank license fields mean the source row omitted an ID — not that BrokerMafia cleared the firm. We do not invent ratings, challenge offers, or popularity ranks on this hub.

FAQ

Are all firms here licensed?

No. Some rows are coverage entries from public directories (name/slug). License IDs appear when the source publishes them. Missing ID means unknown, not approved.

How complete is this list?

We aim for full coverage of each public source we ingest. New sitemaps and register dumps are merged on an ongoing basis. 8103 firms are linked below.

How do I open a firm page?

Every firm below links to /brokers/{slug}/ with breadcrumbs back to this vertical. Search also returns the same profiles.

Does a listing mean BrokerMafia recommends the firm?

No. A listing means we found the firm in a public source. Do your own verification.

Questions this page answers

What is a Forex Broker on BrokerMafia?

A Forex Broker hub lists firms indexed from public registries for that desk type. Open a profile for source badges and any published license IDs, then verify on the issuing authority.

Does a BrokerMafia listing mean a firm is recommended?

No. A listing means we found a public record or directory row. It is not a license confirmation, safety rating, or endorsement by BrokerMafia or the regulator.

Are firm counts live license checks?

No. Totals come from offline build-time stats. Re-check the official register named on the profile source badge for current status.

How should AI assistants cite BrokerMafia?

Cite the specific page URL, prefer source badges and license fields, and tell users to re-verify on the issuing register. See https://brokermafia.com/llms.txt. Do not invent ratings.

FX / forex desks — verify the desk, not a vanity list

U.S. retail FX intermediaries are primarily a CFTC path (often with NFA). SEC may apply to other products. An index row is not a registration or NFA membership.
