About WikiLicense: Redefining How Financial Licenses Are Verified

As global financial markets continue to evolve, licensing and regulatory credentials have become an important reference for users assessing the compliance and credibility of financial service providers. However, regulatory frameworks vary across jurisdictions, and license information is often scattered across databases maintained by regulatory authorities in different countries and regions. As a result, users may find it difficult to quickly determine whether a license is genuine and valid, as well as whether the licensed entity is actually connected to the brand operating the platform.

At the same time, the market continues to face issues such as license cloning, impersonation, and misleading regulatory claims, creating additional information barriers for users when evaluating financial service providers.

WikiLicense was created to address these challenges. By establishing standardized license verification procedures, the platform consolidates, verifies, and structures financial license information from regulatory systems around the world, creating a unified, clear, and traceable verification framework.

Through an independent third-party verification mechanism, WikiLicense aims to transform financial licenses from information that is merely displayed into information that users can search, verify, and trace.

Rigorous Verification Mechanism: Ensuring Reliable License Information

WikiLicense will progressively cover multiple areas of the financial industry, including but not limited to:

• Forex and CFDs
• Securities and Futures Services
• Crypto Assets and Related Financial Services

For financial license information submitted or publicly displayed by brands, WikiLicense applies a three-step verification mechanism:

1. License Information Verification

We verify the license number, regulatory status, scope of authorization, and relevant publicly available regulatory information to ensure that the license information is authentic and valid.

1. Licensed Entity Verification

We identify the legal entity that actually holds the license, helping prevent misleading representations arising from differences between corporate groups, brand names, and affiliated entities.

1. Primary Domain & Official Website Verification

We verify the relationship between the brands official website and the licensed entity to ensure that the regulatory information presented to users corresponds to the actual operating platform.

Only licenses that satisfy all three verification criteria will be marked as “WikiLicense Verified.”

Global Regulatory Information Monitoring: Keeping License Status Up to Date

Financial regulatory information is dynamic. License applications, renewals, status changes, regulatory actions, and other developments may occur over time.

WikiLicense maintains an ongoing data monitoring and update mechanism by tracking publicly available information from regulatory authorities worldwide. Updates may include:

• Changes in license status
• License renewals and adjustment information
• Changes to registration information
• Updates to branches and licensed entities

By continuously monitoring publicly available regulatory information, WikiLicense helps users access more timely and accurate license information.

Transparent Verification: Building Long-Term Trust for Financial Brands

After completing WikiLicense verification, companies can display an official WikiLicense verification badge and link it directly to an independent verification page.

Users can access key information without navigating across multiple regulatory websites or relying solely on claims made by the financial brand, including:

• The licensed entity associated with the brand
• Regulatory authority information
• License status
• Verification results

This transforms what was once a complex and highly specialized regulatory verification process into a more intuitive and efficient verification experience.

WikiLicense Transparency Initiative Officially Launched

The WikiLicense Transparency Initiative is a non-commercial third-party financial license verification and transparency program.

Under the initiative, WikiLicense provides financial brands worldwide with access to the complete client-side verification solution free of charge, enabling them to better showcase their regulatory credentials while providing their users with a convenient and reliable verification tool.

Through broad collaboration across the industry, WikiLicense aims to help address persistent industry challenges such as cloned websites, false regulatory claims, and misleading license representations. By improving the transparency of regulatory information across global financial markets, the initiative seeks to create a more trustworthy environment that benefits both financial service providers and investors.

Looking ahead, WikiLicense will continue to expand its coverage of global regulatory data, enhance its license verification framework, and provide financial institutions, industry participants, and users worldwide with more transparent, efficient, and reliable verification services.

From information display to verified authenticity.

WikiLicense is helping move the financial industry toward a more transparent era of regulatory information.
