Authority and scope
Sections ↑Belize’s Financial Services Commission regulates the non-bank financial-services sector and securities industry. Its official investor material identifies the Financial Services Commission Act 2023 and Securities Industry Act 2021 as central parts of that framework. The Commission also has responsibility for the Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry.[1]
Registers and permission checks
Sections ↑Different records answer different questions
| Record or function | Purpose | Relevance to a broker |
|---|---|---|
| Financial-services licensing | Authorisation and supervision under the applicable financial-services legislation | Identify the operating company and the activity for which it holds permission.Source 1Source 2 |
| Securities supervision | The statutory securities framework includes CFDs and foreign-exchange contracts | The actual permission matters when assessing an investment service.Source 1 |
| Company registry | Corporate registration and company particulars | A company number identifies a legal person; it does not by itself describe its investment permissions.Source 1 |
| LicenSys | Digital licensing and information-management system described in the July 2025 industry briefing | Licensing, renewal and compliance records are distinct from marketing statements.Source 2 |
The FSC directs investors to verify providers through its official website. For a broker profile, match the present legal name, financial-services reference and claimed activity; retain any current-result access limitation alongside the claim. This publication’s connected brokers are a coverage list, not an official register.[1]
Match the evidence to the proposed service
| Subject | What it means |
|---|---|
| Company exists | Corporate registration establishes the legal person. It does not replace a financial-services or securities permission.Source 1 |
| Company is authorised | Read the licence/registration category and legal name; a group brand can refer to more than one company.Source 1 |
| Application system | LicenSys is used for regulatory applications and reporting. An application receipt or portal account is not proof of approval.Source 2 |
| Document changed | Compare the present agreement and licence record with the dated source. A renamed or transferred business needs a fresh identity match.Source 1 |
Check the exact legal entity, permissions, current status and scope in the official record. A brand connection in our coverage does not establish authorisation.
Rules for firms and products
Sections ↑The FSC’s regulatory-framework gateway should be used to identify the legislation applying to the activity. The securities and financial-services frameworks are not interchangeable with company incorporation. For an account-specific claim, retain the relevant licence category and contractual service rather than describing an FSC association as unrestricted permission.[4][1]
Complaints and redress
Sections ↑The FSC publishes [email protected] as its complaint channel. Its complaint page states that information is treated confidentially subject to disclosure required by law or necessary for investigating the complaint. Include the named company, account and transaction references, the issue, prior correspondence and the outcome requested; do not treat regulatory submission as a compensation award.[3]
Separate the issue before submitting
| Subject | What it means |
|---|---|
| Service dispute | Address a written complaint to the contract’s legal company and retain its response and records.Source 3 |
| Permission or impersonation concern | Explain the discrepancy between the firm’s claim and official information, including the exact website and dated document.Source 5Source 6 |
| Suspected misconduct | Provide original payment/order evidence and a dated chronology through the official complaint route.Source 3 |
Compensation and firm failure
Sections ↑This reference does not establish a statutory investor-compensation amount for a Belize securities account. The sources reviewed identify supervision, licensing and complaint channels, not a general promise to refund customer balances. A broker’s separate insurance statement needs policy, insured entity, claimant eligibility and exclusions before it can be described as protection.[1][3]
Enforcement and developments
Sections ↑The July 2025 industry briefing described the transition to LicenSys for digital applications, renewals, amendments and compliance reporting, including integration with corporate-registry information. It also described ongoing inspection and off-site review work. These are regulatory processes, not evidence that a particular broker’s current application or renewal has been approved.[2]

InvestMarkets
InvestMarkets’ international offer names Arvis Capital Limited in Belize. Its public account grid and fee document expose unusually large inactivity and reactivation charges, while withdrawal allowances vary by tier. The fee PDF is undated: its 2021 directory is not proof that every provision is obsolete or current for a particular account. The company’s stated Belize licence was not independently matched to a current permission record, and a 2022 Spanish warning concerns solicitation in Spain.
