FSC is based in South Korea and covers the South Korea jurisdiction. As a Tier 1 regulator, it enforces strict capital adequacy, client fund segregation, and compensation schemes, making it one of the safest options for retail investors.
Visit the official FSC 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 FSC in South Korea. 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.
