Editorial note: every figure on this page comes from the broker's hub record and names the source it was checked against (our methodology). Where nobody has checked a field we say "not published" rather than guess. Nothing here is investment advice (risk disclosure).
Short on time? Of the brokers on this page, the highest published score belongs to Moneta Markets (3.8/5). What its record states:
- Regulation: FSCA — Registration verified

Every broker on this page carries at least one registration whose jurisdiction is South Africa in our published records. For each one we print the regulator, the licence number, its standing and a link to the register, so you can check the same thing we checked.
A licence issued in South Africa does NOT mean the broker accepts clients from South Africa, and it does not mean the firm is available there. It is an authorisation fact about a company, true on the date we read the register and no later.
Which entity you would contract with, and whether it would take you on at all, depends on where you live. Our records do not carry that, so it is named below as unpublished rather than implied by this page's title.
This page rests on 8 published broker records, of which 8 carry a licence here that we read on the register ourselves.
This order is our published desk score, which covers the broker overall. It is NOT a ranking of licences or of countries: a licence is either on the register or it is not, and every row here links to the register so you can confirm it.

Frequently asked questions
Does a licence issued here mean I can open an account?
No. A registration says a regulator authorised a company in that jurisdiction. Whether that company, or a sister entity, will accept you as a client depends on where you live, and our records do not publish it — which is why it is listed as unpublished above.
A broker says it is regulated here but is not on this page. Why?
This page rests on the registrations our research hub has published. A licence that has not reached our records yet puts no broker on this page, even if the firm really holds one. Read the regulator's own register too, and treat this page as a starting point rather than a complete roll.
