New ZealandEach broker on this page is authorised by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA), the Tier 1 financial regulator for New Zealand. The FMA oversees forex brokers to ensure compliance with conduct standards, including requirements for client fund segregation and capital adequacy. The FMA does not set a specific leverage cap for retail forex trading, and there is no official investor compensation scheme linked to FMA-licensed firms. New Zealand's FMA is known for a proactive enforcement approach and is the primary gateway for brokers targeting local traders.
