Supervisory verification & licensing FAQ
How many financial regulators are tracked in PayClear Ledger's coverage?
PayClear Ledger tracks 46 supervisory authorities relevant to cross-border payment institutions, msbs, remittance corridors, insurance and fiduciary trusts (5 Tier-1 prudential/G10 supervisors, 39 Tier-2 national supervisors, 0 Tier-3 regional/specialized authorities, and 2 offshore centres), of which 3 currently have licensed institutions on file in our dataset (3 total licence records) and 46 include a direct public register verification URL.
How should I verify a broker or institution on a regulator’s public register?
Click any regulator’s name or "Full Dossier →" to inspect its national licensing classes, minimum capital rules, and investor compensation limits, or use the "Register ↗" link to open its official public register. Search by the exact licence/reference number and confirm that the legal entity name, registered address, approved website domain, and permitted retail or institutional activities match the firm you are dealing with.
What is the difference between Tier-1, Tier-2, Tier-3, and Offshore supervisory regimes?
Tier-1 G10/prudential authorities (such as FCA, SEC/FINRA, CFTC/NFA, BaFin, FINMA, MAS, ASIC, JFSA, and SFC) enforce strict initial capital adequacy, daily client money segregation, and statutory investor compensation schemes. Tier-2 national supervisors maintain domestic conduct and prudential standards, while Offshore centres offer streamlined international business company licensing with lighter capital and no statutory compensation fund.
