Gibraltar Financial Services Commission
The GFSC regulated-entities register separates investment dealers and managers from DLT providers, payments firms, tied agents, and other categories. A DLT-provider or payments entry is not interchangeable with investment-dealer authorization. GFSC advises contacting it when the relevant firm cannot be found.

How to read Gibraltar FSC regulation
- The GFSC regulated-entities register separates investment dealers and managers from DLT providers, payments firms, tied agents, and other categories.
- Use the full contracting legal entity, not only the broker brand, when checking official records.
- This is an explanatory authority guide, not confirmation of an individual broker’s current license.

What this signal does not guarantee
- A DLT-provider or payments entry is not interchangeable with investment-dealer authorization. GFSC advises contacting it when the relevant firm cannot be found.
- It does not guarantee profits, reimburse ordinary market losses, or establish that every group affiliate is covered.
- A name match on BrokerVS does not verify the account’s permission or protection eligibility.

Red flags
When to be careful
- A DLT-provider or payments entry is not interchangeable with investment-dealer authorization. GFSC advises contacting it when the relevant firm cannot be found.
- The account agreement names a different entity or jurisdiction from the advertised authority.
