BahamasEach broker on this page is authorised by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB), which acts as the national financial regulator in this offshore jurisdiction. The SCB oversees non-bank financial institutions, including international brokerages, but does not impose a mandatory retail leverage cap under current regulations. Bahamas-based brokers are not covered by an investor compensation scheme published by the regulator. SCB regulation is typically chosen by firms seeking greater operational flexibility than under stricter Tier 1 regimes.
