Are you considering a career as a regulated Forex broker? Forex brokers work in the ever changing field of foreign currency, making millions for their customers. They also earn quite a bit of money in commissions for themselves, betting on which countries exchange rates are going to rise or fall in the future.
Who Regulates Forex Brokers?
Since Forex brokers work throughout the world in numerous different countries and cities, no single agency regulates all Forex brokers. Instead, brokers are regulated through the local brokerage regulation agency in their respective home countries. Hence, U.S. Forex brokers are regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the Office of the Comptroller of that currency.
Forex brokers located in Japan are regulated through the Financial Services Agency, while Forex brokers in Iraq are regulated by the Iraq Securities Commission.
