Frequently Asked Questions

MFSA is classified as a Tier 2 regulator. Regulated jurisdiction with established oversight, though with fewer investor protections than Tier 1.

We currently list 5 forex brokers regulated by MFSA. The full list is shown above, sorted by overall trader rating.

MFSA is based in Malta and covers the European Union jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it provides meaningful oversight, though traders should also verify whether a broker holds an additional Tier 1 licence for added protection.

Visit the official MFSA website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the broker's registered name or licence number to confirm its status. This is the most reliable way to check a broker's regulatory standing.

Compensation availability depends on the specific rules of MFSA in Malta. Tier 1 regulators typically operate investor compensation schemes covering a portion of client funds. Check the regulator's official guidance for current limits and eligibility criteria.
