Common comparison error
Regulatory register at group-brand level does not prove permission for the domain, entity, product, country, client type, or Authorised firm.
GlossaryRegulation & safety
Regulatory register
An official database showing a firm's status, permissions, contact details, history, and sometimes disciplinary records.
Detailed explanation
How Regulatory register works in practice
01
Mechanics
An official register records entities and permissions, but a valid name match alone is insufficient. The domain, telephone, address, reference number, status, permitted activities, product, client type, and jurisdiction must match the account being offered.
02
Worked example
Open the register from the regulator's own website, not from a broker link. Compare the website footer and terms, record the date, and search warning lists for clone domains or unauthorized contacts using the same company name.
03
Decision rule
A company incorporation, certificate image, or unrelated financial permission does not establish authorization to offer binary options. Record the complaint and external dispute route tied to the exact entity.
Practical use
How to verify Regulatory register
Read Regulatory register together with Firm reference number, Authorised firm, Complaint reference number. The comparison must preserve the exact rule, value, state, and evidence described below.
A neutral example
Historical register data for Regulatory register shows a later restriction. The review uses the dated status applicable to the account instead of a current Firm reference number label alone. A reviewer labels the case Regulatory register only after showing that official status, permissions, contacts, history, restrictions, and warnings should match the service used.
Evidence path
Where to verify Regulatory register
Use the source that governs the exact contract, account, entity, or platform state. A general definition cannot replace current broker terms.
