SEYCHELLES FOREX LICENCE

image220

Seychelles (SFSA)

The regulatory body responsible for the issuing of Seychelles forex licences and monitoring financial services activities is the Seychelles Financial Services Authority, also known as the SFSA.  The Seychelles regulator was established to provide a regulatory framework for all financial companies including forex regulation from rule making and investigatory practices, to powers of enforcement and ensuring statutory conditions are met.

FINANCIAL SERVICES LICENCE

Forex Broker Regulations

A forex broker is the equivalent of a “Securities Dealer Licence” under SFSA regulations.  Specifically, a Registered Firm would receive authorization to carry on Dealing in Securities.


A Securities Dealer Licence, essentially a forex broker licence, would allow the forex broker to offer Contracts for Difference (CFDs) in forex, commodities, futures and shares to retail and wholesale clients.  

Capital Requirements

The minimum capital requirement for a  Securities Dealer Licence is about 50,000 USD.

Physical Presence

If engaging in a licensed financial services activity, you must have a physical presence in Seychelles.  You must also designate a Seychelles-based Compliance Officer who must pass fit and proper tests and be an approved person by the regulator. 

Approved Persons

The experience and qualifications of the personnel constitute one of the most important elements of a successful application.  It is very important to be able to locate and select qualified individuals, who would constitute the minimum required key personnel of your firm.  And, these individuals must be approved by the regulator.


We can handle all relevant subjects which include selection of the personnel, immigration and work permits, drafting employment contracts and, most importantly, check adequacy of the candidates against the key position in your firm.
