ASIC is Australia's integrated corporate, markets, financial services and consumer credit regulator. Australian regulation requires client money to be kept in segregated trust accounts at AA-rated banks.
CySEC regulates investment services in Cyprus and is widely seen as the gateway to the EU under MiFID II passporting. Many large retail brokers hold a CySEC license plus one or more "passported" authorisations across EEA.

FSCA regulates South African financial services. Leverage capped at 1:500 for major FX; client funds segregated.

St. Vincent & the Grenadines does NOT regulate FX trading. The "SVG FSA" registration is a company registry listing, not a financial regulator. Brokers using this designation are not subject to conduct or capital rules.
