Financial Service Providers Register: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use the Financial Service Providers Register to verify if a broker is legitimate before you do business with them.
The Financial Service Providers Register is a public database used to check the status of financial service providers.
Who it's for
This register is a tool for anyone who needs to verify the legitimacy of a financial broker or provider.
What you get
You gain access to a searchable database that allows you to confirm whether a financial provider is officially registered. This helps you verify that a broker is a legitimate entity before you engage in financial transactions with them.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost to using the register; it only costs the time you spend searching the database.
The catch to know
Being listed on the register does not mean that a regulatory body endorses the firm. It only confirms that the firm is registered.

- Review the registration details to confirm their status.
- Use the information to make an informed decision about your financial dealings.
