What the different licences are worth
Leading regulators
The FCA, CySEC, ASIC, Japan's FSA, Singapore's MAS and similar bodies supervise capital, require client money to be kept separate and handle complaints, usually with a compensation scheme. Many of them ban or restrict binary options for individuals, which is why platforms like BinaryCent avoid those markets.
Offshore registrations
St Vincent and the Grenadines, Vanuatu, the Comoros and the Marshall Islands offer company registration or light licences. They do little to check how trades are priced or how client money is held.
Private dispute bodies
The Financial Commission and similar groups are membership organisations, not regulators. They can handle complaints about members and some run a compensation fund, but they cannot license or close a platform.
What this means for you
- No government compensation if the company fails.
- No regulator in your country to complain to: disputes go to the platform itself, or to its dispute body if it has one.
- Nobody independent checks how trades are priced, including weekend OTC prices.
- Using it may break local rules even if the site lets you sign up.
Markets BinaryCent refuses
Its own terms exclude residents of: United States. Getting round this with a VPN breaks the terms and can freeze the account.
Quick answers
Who regulates BinaryCent?
No. Cent Projects Ltd runs it offshore with no financial licence.
Does BinaryCent have a CySEC or FCA licence?
No. BinaryCent has no FCA licence, and its options are not offered under a CySEC licence.
Is BinaryCent legal where I live?
That depends on your market. India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore have warned against or banned such platforms, and elsewhere local rules may still apply. Check your market's page before signing up.
Would a licence stop me losing money?
No. Most retail traders lose money even at regulated firms. Regulation protects against misconduct and insolvency, not against losing trades.
