Common comparison error
A real reference number beside Authorised firm can be copied by a clone; register contacts and Client money segregation must match the visited service.
GlossaryRegulation & safety
Authorised firm
A legal entity recorded by a named authority as permitted to conduct specified activities. The status may not cover every product, domain, client type, or country.
Practical use
How to verify Authorised firm
Read Authorised firm together with Operating entity, Client-money segregation, Insolvency protection. The comparison must preserve the exact rule, value, state, and evidence described below.
A neutral example
The register marks Authorised firm current, while the customer contract points to an offshore affiliate. That affiliate and its Operating entity route are reported separately. The evidence must resolve the defining Authorised firm boundary: a register entry covers a named entity and activities, not automatically every group domain or product.
Evidence path
Where to verify Authorised firm
Use the source that governs the exact contract, account, entity, or platform state. A general definition cannot replace current broker terms.
