What is FSC regulation in Mauritius?

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Mauritius regulates financial services, including forex brokers. It requires firms to obtain licenses, maintain capital reserves, and follow AML regulations. The FSC is considered a mid-tier regulator—more credible than unregulated offshore authorities but not as strict as FCA or ASIC. Some international brokers obtain FSC licenses to expand into African and Asian markets. While FSC oversight adds legitimacy, investor protection is still limited compared to top regulators. Traders should verify licenses on the FSC’s public register and ensure the broker also holds Tier-1 regulation for stronger protection.
