Investment Firms Authorised in Australia

Every entry ASIC — Financial Services Licensee dataset (Australian Financial Services licences) holds for Australia — what each firm is authorised as, when, and which authorisations have since been withdrawn.

What this register covers. Australian Financial Services licensees (current licences only). A firm listed here may hold no permission for anything else, and a firm absent from it may be lawfully authorised under a regime this register does not cover. If the firm you are checking offered you crypto, start with the guided check.

An authorisation is not an endorsement. An AFS licence records that ASIC authorised a business to provide the financial services its conditions name. It is not a recommendation and not a statement that the business is safe. The snapshot lists current licences only; a cancelled licence simply disappears from it. No firm on this page is scored, ranked or assessed by us, there is no green tick anywhere on this site, and lists are ordered alphabetically so that the order cannot be read as a judgement either.

6,473 entries · 6,473 recorded as current · 0 recorded as withdrawn · authority: Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)

6,473 further entries are held but not listed row by row on this page, because a single page of them would be too large to load: Australian Securities and Investments Commission — Financial Services Licensee dataset (data.gov.au) (6,473). Use the regulator’s own search for a single name; company pages on this site that match one of these entries show it.

If the Firm You Are Checking Is Not Listed Above

That is not a finding against it. The registers we hold for Australia cover only the regimes named on this page. A firm can be lawfully authorised here under a regime we do not hold, or authorised elsewhere to serve clients here.

We hold 69,058 current entries across every register on this site. Ask the firm which authority regulates it for your country, then check that authority’s own register — and treat an unwillingness to answer that question as the answer.

What Grouping by Australia Means Here

This is the jurisdiction whose authority recorded the authorisation — not necessarily the only place the firm operates. A firm authorised here may serve clients elsewhere, and a firm serving clients here may be authorised elsewhere.

Being present on this page does not mean a firm may do everything. The register overview explains what the permissions are and what falls outside them.

An AFS licence records that ASIC authorised a business to provide the financial services its conditions name. It is not a recommendation and not a statement that the business is safe. The snapshot lists current licences only; a cancelled licence simply disappears from it.

This content has been edited: ASIC's weekly snapshot has been parsed and re-presented; licensees whose names carry no corporate form (which include individuals) are omitted and licence-condition text is summarised as two flags. ASIC's Professional Register Search is authoritative. Australian Securities and Investments Commission does not endorse this publication.
