The Bahamas's SCB (Securities Commission of the Bahamas) licenses investment firms under the Securities Industry Act. The SCB framework requires client-money segregation and capital adequacy, and is broadly comparable to a Tier-2 offshore regulator. The Bahamas is an established offshore financial centre, and a number of international brokers use SCB licensing to serve clients outside the EU and Australian regulatory perimeters.
