Authority and scope
Sections ↑Some broker contracts identify an Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority permission. The company named in that document may differ from the operator of another regional website.[1]
Banque Centrale des Comores’ 15 June 2022 notice identifies AOFA among disputed licensing structures. The notice concerns the claimed issuing structure; this profile does not turn it into a named enforcement finding against every broker citing that structure.[2]
In its 8 December 2025 warning, Banque Centrale des Comores names AOFA/Anjouan Corporate Services, MISA and IRAGC. It states that these bodies are unrecognised and lack legal authority to issue financial or banking licences. It also says unregulated forex activities marketed as “Brokerage License” had not been authorised. This is an explicit national-authority warning, not merely missing register evidence.[6]
Registers and permission checks
Sections ↑Evidence treatment
Three documents that answer different questions
| Subject | What it means |
|---|---|
| Broker agreement | Identifies the company making the licensing claim and the contractual counterparty; it does not independently establish the issuer’s legal powers.Source 1 |
| BCC credit-institution list | Identifies institutions in the central bank’s credit-sector directory. Absence from this list is not, by itself, a finding about every type of financial service.Source 4 |
| BCC intermediary list | Describes named intermediary permissions, including manual exchange and money transfers. Those activities must not be relabelled as a general leveraged-FX authorisation.Source 5 |
Check the exact legal entity, permissions, current status and scope in the official record. A brand connection in our coverage does not establish authorisation.
Client assets and protections
Sections ↑The evidence assembled for this reference does not establish an AOFA-administered investor compensation scheme, an independently verified client-money rulebook or an ombudsman able to award compensation. No protection amount is therefore assigned. These are specific unverified claims, not a conclusion that every company citing AOFA has committed misconduct.[2][1]
Complaints and redress
Sections ↑Evidence to retain for an account dispute
| Subject | What it means |
|---|---|
| Contract and jurisdiction | Keep the agreement version, exact company name, governing-law clause and dispute forum. They identify the party against which a contractual complaint is made.Source 1 |
| Claimed permission | Retain the original certificate or website claim and its date. Ask for the legal basis, permitted activity and an independently verifiable current record.Source 2 |
| Money and instructions | Keep statements, transaction references and correspondence together with the written complaint to the contractual company. A claimed licence is not itself a recovery process.Source 1 |
