Separate company registration from financial permission
A commercial registration or office address does not itself demonstrate permission for retail forex dealing. Find the financial-services register for the relevant jurisdiction and inspect the exact legal name.
Arranging, dealing and custody differ
A firm arranging an account may introduce a customer to a separate product issuer. Dealing permission describes a different activity. Client-money or asset arrangements require further checking; absence of a custody line is not by itself a complete legal conclusion about cash handling.
Check the status as well as the number
The historical Saxo Bank (Dubai) Limited DFSA record F001014 shows a 2 July 2017 withdrawal. It is a useful warning against treating every search result for a licence as current. This does not establish Saxo’s current overall UAE status.
Use legal review for regulatory comparisons
The current federal framework uses CMA; older material and search terms use SCA. DIFC and ADGM have their own regimes. Do not rank the regimes as universally safer or publish a blanket leverage cap without the current rule, product and client category.
