How AI Confirms Broker Regulation Status

Behind the Scenes of Our AI Regulator Checks

Learn how our AI layer accelerates regulatory due diligence by scanning official databases, cross-referencing domains, and flagging suspicious brokers in seconds.

Data Sources the AI Uses

Official regulator APIs (FCA, ASIC, NFA, CySEC, FSCA, etc.)
Public license registries scraped daily.
Broker disclosures and compliance documents.
Archived web pages (Wayback Machine) to catch historical claims.
User reports and community alerts.

Verification Workflow

Entity Matching: AI looks for exact and fuzzy matches of broker names, legal entities, and trading names.
License Confirmation: Checks license numbers, status, permitted activities, and expiration dates.
Domain Validation: Confirms broker website matches regulator-approved domains.
Risk Scoring: Assigns a trust score (0-100) based on regulator tier, enforcement history, and complaints.
Alert Generation: Flags discrepancies, unlicensed operations, or clone websites.

Understanding the Trust Score

80-100: Fully verified, Tier 1 regulated, no warnings.
60-79: Verified but may rely on Tier 2 regulation or have minor warnings.
40-59: Partial match; manual verification required.
0-39: High risk—license unverified or revoked.

How Often Data Refreshes

Tier 1 regulators: hourly checks during business days.
Tier 2/3 regulators: daily sync.
User-reported issues: manual review within 24 hours.
Major alerts (license revoked): immediate push notification to subscribers.

Compliance and Transparency

Every AI report includes direct links to the regulator's official entry.
Brokers can request corrections; changes require documented evidence.
Audit logs record every verification and update.

Limitations

Some regulators (offshore jurisdictions) lack digital registries—manual verification remains necessary.
Newly launched brokers may take 24-48 hours to appear.
License clones may pass initial checks; we encourage user reports for suspicious activity.
