Is an SCB licence "real" regulation?

SCB does conduct AML supervision and basic capital-adequacy oversight, so it is real regulation in the technical sense. But there is no statutory compensation scheme, no leverage caps, no mandatory negative balance protection, and no binding-award ombudsman. Treat SCB as legal cover for the broker's commercial activity, not a meaningful consumer-protection regime.

Why do brokers like FxPro Global Markets and Pepperstone Limited use SCB?

SCB licensing lets them onboard clients excluded from EU/UK/AU jurisdictions by retail leverage caps — most clients access leverage above 1:200 there. The same broker group typically operates a tier-1 entity (FCA, ASIC) for European/Australian retail and the SCB entity for the rest of the world.

How risky is funding an SCB-licensed broker?

Risk varies sharply by group. Major broker groups with FCA/ASIC entities and audited financial statements (FxPro, Pepperstone, IC Markets via Bahamas) generally honour withdrawals reliably. Pure-offshore brokers without sister tier-1 entities have a worse track record and significantly higher complaints volume on industry forums.

Can I sue an SCB-licensed broker if there's a dispute?

Disputes go through Bahamian courts under Bahamian law. Cross-border enforcement is slow, expensive and frequently impractical for retail-sized claims. Some major broker groups offer voluntary internal arbitration that produces faster outcomes than litigation.

Does Bahamian banking secrecy affect transparency?

The Bahamas has signed onto the OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and reports tax-residency information to most major countries since 2018. Banking-side secrecy is no longer the protection it was pre-2010. The relevant transparency gap today is the SCB's lighter-touch supervision compared to tier-1 regulators, not bank secrecy.

SCB — Securities Commission of the Bahamas

KuzatuvchiBrokerlist Editorial · Mustaqil sharh jamoasiYangilangan 22-aprel, 2026

Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB) — qimmatli qogʻozlar bozorlari, fond kompaniyalari, kapital boshqaruvchilari va raqamli aktivlar emitentlari uchun Bagama orollarining regulyatori.

Yurisdiksiya: Bagama Hamdoʻstligi.
Tashkil etilgan: 1995
Vakolatlar: 1995-yilda Securities Industry Act ga binoan tashkil etilgan, 2011-yilda qayta tuzilgan (SIA 2011) va 2020-yilda yangilangan, jumladan Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges Act (DARE).
Iste'molchilarni himoya qilish: Bagama orollari litsenziyasiga ega brokerlar uchun davlat depozit yoki investorlar himoyasi yoʻq. Himoya mijoz mablagʻlarini uchinchi tomon bankida ajratish va firmaning oʻz kapital talablari orqali amalga oshiriladi.
Chakana leveraj cheklovlari: SCB chakana FX/CFD uchun aniq leveraj cheklarini belgilamaydi va EI uslubidagi standartlashtirilgan marja talablariga ega emas. Bagama orollari litsenziyasiga ega brokerlar koʻpincha EI dan tashqari mijozlar uchun yuqori leveraj (1:500 yoki undan yuqori) taklif qilishadi.
Ommaviy reyestr: SCB ommaviy reyestri Securities Industry Act boʻyicha roʻyxatdan oʻtgan firmalar, fondlar va raqamli aktiv yetkazib beruvchilarni sanab oʻtadi. U bepul qidirilishi mumkin, lekin EI ekvivalentlariga qaraganda kamroq batafsil. Reyestrni ochish ↗
Nizolarni hal qilish: Maxsus moliyaviy ombudsmen yoʻq; nizolar SCB shikoyatlar mexanizmi yoki fuqarolik sudlari orqali hal qilinadi. SCB vositachilik qilishi mumkin, lekin shaxsiy kelishuvlar boʻyicha majburiy qaror qabul qilish vakolati yoʻq.
Tahririy eslatmalar: Bagama orollari soliq imtiyozlariga ega oflineshore yurisdiktsiya boʻlib, xalqaro brokerlarni jalb qiladi. 2022-yilgi FTX ishidan beri SCB raqamli aktivlar ustidan nazoratni kuchaytirdi.
