FSCASouth Africa
A locally-rooted South African broker authorised by the FSCA as a financial services provider (FSP 47025) and as a licensed OTC Derivative Provider (ODP64) — the cleanest own-ODP credential of the shortlist, meaning it is authorised to write CFDs onshore as principal.

Note: Plus500 holds an FSCA FSP but is reported as still awaiting its ODP licence — South African clients are served via its ASIC-regulated entity (Plus500AU), so CFDs are issued offshore.
