Core principles

  • Research Confidence is not a safety rating.

  • Regulator verified does not mean a broker is safe.

  • Unknown does not mean unsafe. Unverified does not mean fraudulent. Unregulated does not automatically mean a scam.

  • Protection unknown does not mean no.

What we track

  • Legal entities
  • Regulatory licences
  • Licence status
  • Client protection
  • Broker disclosures
  • Regulatory actions
  • Material changes recorded on file

Source hierarchy

Primary sources are preferred where they can be attributed.

  1. 1.Regulator registers
  2. 2.Official corporate registers
  3. 3.Broker legal documents
  4. 4.Regulator notices
  5. 5.Official disclosures

Research Confidence

Broker profiles show Research Confidence, evidence labels, data coverage, verification states and evidence-scoped dates where recorded. Those fields describe the file FXVeritas holds; they do not rank brokers or say a broker is safe.

Not a safety rating. Research Confidence measures evidence availability and quality, not whether a broker or firm is safe.

Discrepancy handling

  • Unknown is not treated as No
  • Unverified is not treated as false
  • Brand names are separated from legal entities
  • Licences are tracked at legal-entity level where the file supports it
  • Commercial relationships do not change research findings

Update freshness

A recorded check date means that item was reviewed against sources then on file. It does not mean every field is continuously monitored in real time.

A verified licence is a register match for a named legal entity. It is not a finding that the broker is safe.

FXVeritas does not guarantee completeness or accuracy of every public record.

Commercial independence

FXVeritas publishes a public file of brokers, legal entities, licenses and client-protection facts. Commercial relationships may exist. They do not buy Safety evidence labels, Research Confidence, verification status, directory order, or compare order.
