Abstract:However, as the official warning states, the regulation or even licensing of the Forex business is not a part of the SVG FSA activity.
The SVG FSA was established in November 2012 with the mission of developing Saint Vincent and the Grenadines into a safe and competitive financial center in the international and financial arena by promoting integrated operations. However, as the official warning states, the regulation or even licensing of the Forex business is not a part of the SVG FSA activity.
In this St. Vincent and the Grenadines regulation review we cover the following highlights:
- SVG registration requirements and its “regulation”
- Is there a way to submit complaint to SVG FSA?
- How do I find a reliable Forex broker?
I. SVG registration requirements and its “regulation”
The fast, streamlined process in SVG jurisdictions allows companies to not necessarily need to have an office in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, allows for keeping initial capital low, has no strict establishment rules or requirements, but allows for running a global business, making it a preferred option for many offshore companies.
Furthermore, there is no sharp regulation or overseeing of the company operation implemented. In terms that the Forex business in SVG is not regulated in St Vincent, the SVG broker can run its activity, provide trading environments and accept Forex payments through credit cards, but is not overseen.
The Forex and derivatives trading as a decentralized market can be a highly risky opportunity if the company delivers trading service without strict overseeing from the industry authority. For that reason, we always advise choosing among the most reputable and of course heavily regulated brokers and to protect yourself from potential scammers.
II. Is there a way to submit complaint to SVG FSA?
We have received many user reviews about SVG traders and most of them are obviously negative. What is the content of the complaint? Refusal of customer withdrawals, meaning that customers who have invested money cannot get their profits or funds back.
In that scenario, SVG FSA will not be able to assist through customer protection, to advise or take action further, the trader stands completely alone at that point. Therefore, there is no way to complain or receive any support from the authority.
The only way the SVG FSA tries its attempt to protect clients is to place an advise and list entities at the alert area as of the false license claims in the SVG jurisdiction, yet the protection “actions” are ending just by that.
