Brokers Licensed by ASIC

Compiled by the traderpublic research desk

Every broker on this page carries a registration naming ASIC in our published records. For each one we print the licence number, its standing, and a link to the regulator's own register so you can check it yourself.

A licence is a fact about an entity on a date, not a rating. It says a regulator authorised that company and can be asked about it; it does not say the firm will treat you well, and a register can change after the day we read it.

This page rests on 17 published broker records, of which we verified 15 licences against the register.

Jurisdictions: AU

Trading CFDs carries a high risk of losing money. Nothing on this page is advice to open an account with any firm.

Broker records we publish

Ordered by the traderpublic desk score on each record. Records our desk has not scored are not ranked here.

This order is our published desk score, which covers the broker overall. It is NOT a ranking of licences: a licence is either on the register or not, and every row here links to the register so you can confirm it.

Frequently asked questions

Does a licence mean the broker is safe?

No. It means a regulator authorised the entity, which gives you somewhere to complain and a register to check. It is a necessary condition, not a verdict.

The entity on my account is not the one listed. Why?

A group commonly operates several entities under different licences, and the one you contract with depends on where you live. Our records do not yet publish the entity name per licence, which is why it is listed as unpublished above.
