For companies planning to engage in foreign exchange, CFD, securities order execution, investment product distribution, or related brokerage businesses, the Seychelles FSA Securities Dealer license is one of the more sought-after international financial regulatory pathways.

The English name of the Seychelles Financial Services Authority is:

Financial Services Authority Seychelles, referred to as FSA Seychelles.

Securities Dealer is usually translated as:

• Securities dealers;
• Securities brokers;
• Investment dealer;
• Seychelles forex license;
• Seychelles securities license.

Securities Dealers are often referred to in the market as "Seychelles forex licenses," but their actual regulatory scope is not limited to forex.

The types of business a company can conduct depend on the application documents, transaction models, financial products, customer funding arrangements, and the conditions for final approval by the FSA.

Key points to confirm before proceeding:

• Is the company operating on an agency brokerage model or a market-making model?
• Whether to receive and transmit customer orders;
• Does it represent the client in executing the transaction?
• Whether to act as a counterparty in a client's transaction;
• Does it offer foreign exchange, CFDs, or other derivatives?
• Whether or not you hold or control customer funds;
• Do you provide investment advice?
• In which countries are our clients primarily located?
• Does it involve digital assets?
• Does the candidate possess the practical office and management capabilities required in Seychelles?

Are you evaluating a Seychelles FSA license?
By submitting your transaction details, financial products, customer locations, and fund flows, Covis can help you make an initial assessment of whether a Securities Dealer license is suitable for your project.

1. What is a Seychelles FSA Securities Dealer?

Seychelles Securities Dealer is a regulated entity authorized by the FSA Seychelles to conduct securities dealer business in accordance with the Securities Act 2007 and related regulations.

Depending on the scope of the company's approval, Securities Dealer may be involved in:

• Trading securities;
• Execute securities transactions on behalf of clients;
• Receive and deliver customer orders;
• Acting as a broker to arrange transactions of financial products;
• To conduct transactions as the person in charge;
• Provide services related to foreign exchange and contracts for difference (CFDs);
• Provide ancillary services related to securities trading;
• Manage client relationships related to regulated securities products.

The services that a company can ultimately provide shall be subject to the business plan, licensing conditions and current securities regulations approved by the FSA.

A securities dealer license does not automatically equate to:

• Banking license;
• Payment license;
• Electronic money license;
• Fund management license;
• Digital asset service provider license;
• A globally recognized financial license valid in all countries.
• Customer funds are guaranteed to be safe.

If a company is also engaged in payments, fund management, virtual asset custody, or digital asset trading, it may need to apply for other regulatory licenses.

II. What types of businesses are suitable for a Seychelles FSA license?

1. Foreign exchange brokerage business

Companies offer foreign exchange products to clients through trading platforms and transmit client orders to liquidity providers or other execution venues.

2. Contracts for Difference (CFDs) business

Offer clients CFD products based on currencies, indices, stocks, commodities, or other underlying assets.

CFDs are complex, high-risk financial products, and detailed explanations are required when applying for one.

• Product structure;
• Source of quote;
• Leverage level;
• Forced liquidation mechanism;
• Customer risk disclosure;
• Hedging arrangements;
• Conflict of interest management.

3. Securities brokerage business

Receive trading instructions from clients for stocks, bonds, funds or other securities, and execute or transmit orders on behalf of clients.

4. Institutional Transaction Services

We provide trade execution and liquidity access services to professional clients, funds, asset management institutions, or other financial enterprises.

5. Multi-asset trading platform

It also offers foreign exchange, precious metals, indices, stock CFDs, or other approved financial products.

6. White-label and Fintech Trading Platforms

Offer regulated securities brokerage services to clients through your own branded website, app, or trading system.

White label partnerships cannot replace the responsibilities of a licensed company. Licensed companies are still required to know their customers, monitor transactions, manage complaints, and fulfill ongoing compliance obligations.

---

III. What are the differences between the agency brokerage model and the market making model?

Agency Brokerage Model

Under the agency model, the main functions of the enterprise are:

• Receive customer orders;
• Send the order to a third-party liquidity provider;
• Perform according to the agreed method;
• Charge a spread, commission, or service fee;
• We will not bear the main market risk of our clients' positions for an extended period.

Application materials typically need to explain:

• Liquidity providers;
• Order routing;
• Optimal execution mechanism;
• Slippage handling;
• Conflict of interest;
• Client fund arrangements.

Market making model

Under a market-making or counterparty model, a company may:

• As the counterparty in a client's transaction;
• Use your own funds to bear market risks;
• Provide a quote to the customer;
• Perform internal order matching;
• Decide on your own risk hedging methods.

Such patterns typically require a more complete set:

• Market risk management;
• Counterparty risk management;
• Capital and liquidity planning;
• Disclosure of conflicts of interest;
• Stress test;
• Transaction monitoring;
• Risk limit.

Companies cannot simply write "foreign exchange brokerage business" in their application materials; they must clearly state who ultimately executes the orders, who bears the risks, and whether the company has a direct conflict of interest with its clients.

---

IV. What is the minimum capital requirement for the Seychelles FSA?

The Seychelles FSA amended its securities regulations and related requirements in 2024.

In current application practices, the Securities Dealer program typically requires compliance with at least the following standards:

100,000 dollar

To conduct preliminary planning based on capital levels.

However, the minimum capital requirement should not be determined solely based on market reports.

Before formal submission, you should reconfirm the following documents and the latest written requirements of the FSA:

• Securities Act and its amendments;
• Securities Regulations;
• The relevant appendices as revised in 2024;
• Securities Dealer Application Guidelines;
• The applicant company's specific business model;
• Does the company hold customer funds?
• Whether the transaction was conducted in the capacity of the person in charge;
• Does it involve complex derivatives?

Capital typically needs to meet the following requirements:

• Issued and fully paid up;
• The source of funds can be verified;
• It belongs to the applicant company's own funds;
• These funds do not belong to the customer.
• There were no unexplained temporary loans;
• Maintain this status throughout the licensing period;
• The company has sufficient operating funds.

Regulatory capital is neither a fee paid to the FSA nor a deposit collected by service providers.

Businesses also need to prepare at least 12 to 18 months of operating funds to cover the following expenses:

• Local personnel;
• Office space;
• Compliance personnel;
• audit;
• Technical systems;
• Legal services;
• Cooperation with banks and payment providers;
• Insurance;
• Data and transaction monitoring.

VI. How much does it cost to obtain a Seychelles FSA license in 2026?

The Seychelles Securities Dealer program does not have a uniform commercial price applicable to all businesses.

The actual budget depends primarily on:

• Agency model or market making model;
• Does it involve CFD?
• Does the company hold customer funds?
• Do you already have a trading system?
• Do you already have a liquidity provider?
• Does the company already exist in Seychelles?
• Shareholder and actual controller structure;
• Management team experience;
• Are local staff required?
• The main countries where the clients are located;
• Does it involve high-risk markets?
• Are the existing materials complete?

Reference Budget for the Kovis Integrated Project

Project Type	Comprehensive Reference Budget
Standard Securities Brokerage and Agency Execution Projects	120,000—180,000美元
Foreign exchange and CFD multi-product brokerage projects	150,000—230,000美元
Market making, complex risks and client funds projects	200,000—320,000美元
A complete project encompassing technology, banking, and operational implementation.	USD 280,000-450,000 and above

The above is a comprehensive business reference budget developed by Covis based on the full scope of services. It is not the official application fee of the FSA, nor does it include the minimum regulatory capital.

Comprehensive services may include:

• License suitability assessment;
• Business and transaction model design;
• Seychelles company established;
• Equity and control structure planning;
• Recommendations for the appointment of directors and key personnel;
• Business plan;
• Three-year financial forecast;
• Capital and liquidity planning;
• Customer cash flow design;
• Transaction execution mode description;
• Liquidity provider architecture;
• AML/CFT regime;
• KYC and customer risk rating;
• Best implementation policy;
• Conflict of interest management;
• Customer complaint system;
• Cybersecurity and business continuity;
• FSA application material preparation;
• Assistance with responding to regulatory issues.

If a company already has a mature team, transaction technology, bank cooperation, and complete compliance materials, the actual processing plan may be lower than the publicly available reference budget.

11. How long does the Seychelles FSA typically take?

Project Type	Comprehensive reference period
A well-structured agency brokerage project	8-12 months
Foreign Exchange and CFD Integrated Brokerage Project	10-15 months
Market making or customer funding projects	12-18 months
Complex cross-border or multi-product projects	15-24 months and above

• Completeness of application documents;
• Local office;
• Bank arrangements;
• Liquidity providers;

13. Can the Seychelles FSA serve global clients?

A Seychelles license alone does not grant a company the right to actively solicit customers in any country in the world.

Businesses also need to assess the location of their customers:

• Financial license requirements;
• Restrictions on cross-border marketing;
• Retail customer protection;
• Leverage restrictions;
• CFD product restrictions;
• Advertising rules;
• Local representative's request;
• Data and privacy regulations.

Seychelles FSA cannot be automatically substituted:

• FCA (UK);
• EU CySEC;
• ASIC Australia;
• US CFTC and NFA;
• Japan FSA;
• Singapore MAS;
• South African FSCA;
• Financial regulation in other countries.

Businesses should avoid advertising:

• Globally recognized financial license;
• It can serve all countries;
• Obtaining an FSA means that the client's funds are guaranteed by the government;
• The FSA approves all investment products of the company.

---

14. Can Securities Dealers conduct digital asset business?

A Securities Dealer license alone cannot automatically enable digital asset trading, custody, or transfer services.

According to the FSA's official statement, if a securities licensed institution accepts and holds clients' virtual assets, it may also need to apply for and hold a VASP license.

If a company only accepts virtual assets as payment for its services and the funds go into the company's own wallet, the regulatory treatment may be different.

Specific analysis is needed:

• Does the company provide custodian services for clients' digital assets?
• Does this represent a transfer of assets by the client?
• Does it offer virtual asset trading?
• Do you operate a digital asset wallet?
• Do digital assets constitute securities?
• Does the company need a VASP license?

17. Common Seychelles FSA Questions

1. Can non-Seychelles residents apply?

An evaluation can be conducted.

Foreign shareholders can participate, but they need to pass a review of their identity, source of funds, source of wealth, and suitability.

2. Is it mandatory to register a Seychelles company?

Typically, the Securities Dealer program uses a Seychelles company as the applicant and establishes actual local operations.

3. Can the minimum capital be withdrawn after it is approved?

It cannot be simply understood as meaning that you can take everything after approval.

Licensed entities are required to continuously meet minimum capital and financial soundness requirements.

4. Can I trade foreign exchange with the Seychelles FSA?

They may provide related securities, foreign exchange, or derivatives services within the approved business scope, but applications are required based on the specific products and trading models.

5. Can it be used as a CFD platform?

An assessment can be conducted, but a full description of the product, pricing, leverage, counterparty, risk management, and customer protection is required.

6. Can I act as a market maker?

It needs to be determined based on the Securities Dealer's authority, business plan, and FSA approval conditions, and cannot be determined solely based on the license name.

7. Is it permissible to hold customer funds?

It is necessary to make a judgment based on the approval conditions, the bank where the client's funds are held, the segregation system, the reconciliation and audit requirements.

8. Is it mandatory to open a bank account after obtaining a license?

No guarantee.

The bank will independently review shareholders, client countries, transaction products, cash flows, and AML policies.

9. Can I buy an existing license plate?

Acquiring a licensed company is legally permissible, but changes in shareholders, controllers, directors, and business operations typically require FSA approval and cannot be circumvented.

10. Can you serve customers in China or Asia?

A Seychelles license alone does not grant the right to actively market in any country; it is necessary to assess the regulations in the customer's location.

11. Is there a guarantee that my application will be approved?

No.

The final decision is made by the FSA based on the company’s capital, shareholders, personnel, business model, and compliance capabilities.

12. Where can I check my FSA license?

You can find licensed companies and their representatives on the FSA’s official Capital Markets regulated page.

The capital requirements, official fees, scope of business, and ongoing compliance obligations of Seychelles Securities Dealers may change due to regulatory updates, licensing conditions, and the actual business operations of the company.
