In shortCCYFX onboards Seychelles international business companies (IBCs), foundations and FSA-licensed securities dealers, including CFD and FX brokers. Typical documents include the certificate of incorporation, a certificate of good standing, a certificate of incumbency from the registered agent and, for licensed firms, the FSA licence.
International companies and licensed dealers
Seychelles international business companies (IBCs) are widely used for holding and trading. Every IBC has a licensed registered agent in Seychelles, which keeps its records and can issue a certificate of incumbency.
The Financial Services Authority regulates non-bank financial services and licenses securities dealers, including many CFD and FX brokers. We verify each licence on the FSA register and the activities it covers.
