Choices are dwindling, quickly. Financial regulators are warning institutions not to onboard unlicensed financial service‌ providers. While you're enjoying a legal loophole in SVG, it means absolutely nothing when you‍ want access to the financial systems. It's well known SVG doesn't license or require license⁠ to offer FX brokerage but you need to comply with the laws of where your⁤ customers are based.

Look at what other companies are doing and mirror that, while you⁣ still can.

Or get yourself a decent, sensible license. It's really not that hard. Look⁢ at Cyprus, Mauritius, Caymans, Bahamas. Or explore options for being a whitelabel of someone who︀ does have a license.

If you are indeed based in SVG and operating from there, you might⁠ not be violating for example UK law by accepting UK customers. But the FCA will⁤ still issue warnings about your non-UK licensed business if you take customers from UK. The⁣ FCA will also harass financial institutions that offer payment services to non-UK licensed FX brokers⁢ that take UK customers.

So, in this example, it'd be in your best interest to︀ comply with UK law if you want to be able to actually offer your services︁ in the UK in a seamless way.

There's a reason why UK and EU licensed︂ forex brokers can get UK and EU bank accounts, but SVG unlicensed brokers cannot.
