How many brokers hold a AMF license?

We currently track 0 AMF-regulated brokers serving retail clients. Our list is limited to brokers we actively review — the full AMF register contains additional entities that do not offer retail forex or CFDs.

How do I verify a broker's AMF license?

Visit https://www.amf-france.org and search the official public register for the broker's company name or license number. Each broker we list has their AMF license number shown in their review. If the register entry is active and matches what the broker advertises, the license is genuine.

Are AMF-regulated brokers safer than offshore brokers?

Yes, substantially. AMF regulation enforces capital requirements, client money segregation, mandatory negative balance protection for retail, and ongoing compliance audits. Offshore brokers typically offer none of these protections.

Can a AMF broker serve clients in other EU countries?

Yes. Under MiFID II, a AMF license can be passported into any other EU member state, meaning a single authorisation covers all 27 EU countries.

How to verify a broker's AMF license

1. Find the license number on the broker's website
Regulated brokers display their AMF license number in the footer of every page, usually alongside an ESMA risk warning. If you cannot find it within two clicks, treat the broker as unregulated.
2. Open the AMF public register
Go to https://www.amf-france.org and navigate to the official register of authorised firms. Every legitimate regulator publishes this list for free.
3. Cross-check the legal name and license number
The legal entity name shown on the register must match the entity name printed in the broker's legal documents and account opening agreement. A trading brand (e.g. "Broker X") is not the same as the licensed legal entity — verify both.
4. Check the license status
The register will show whether the license is active, suspended, or withdrawn. Only open an account with a firm whose license is active. Suspensions and withdrawals are public record for a reason.
