Professional broker overview

FindMyFX editorial summary

HFM's official regulatory page identifies HF Markets SA (PTY) Ltd as the South African entity, company number 2015/341406/07 and FSCA FSP 46632. The same page discloses additional group entities and licences in Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Seychelles and Kenya, while a Mauritius page adds an FSC-licensed entity; account-level leverage, spreads and fees were not independently mapped for each jurisdiction.

Prepared from reviewed sources for informational purposes. This is not investment advice.

Editorial note: Most licence data was taken from HFM's official regulatory disclosures rather than direct entity-specific regulator entries. FindMyFX staff should verify each licence and identify the contracting entity before publication.
