License & Registration Monitoring

The License & Registration Monitoring dashboard tracks the authorization status of brokers and financial firms across regulators, so you always know who is properly licensed and where.

It captures the full lifecycle — new registrations, renewals, status changes, lapses, and revocations — making it straightforward to verify a counterparty, spot firms operating without proper authorization, and watch how a company's regulatory footprint shifts over time.

Sign in to look up specific firms, filter by regulator or jurisdiction, and review historical status changes.
