Investment Firms Authorised in Canada
Every entry FINTRAC Money Services Business Registry (AML). Separately: the CSA list of crypto platforms authorised to do business with Canadians, and CIRO dealer membership. holds for Canada — what each firm is authorised as, when, and which authorisations have since been withdrawn.
What this register covers. Anti-money-laundering registration ONLY — explicitly not a licence. 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. A FINTRAC listing records anti-money-laundering registration only. FINTRAC states it is not a licence and issues no certificate. It is not a recommendation and not a statement that the business is safe, and it is not permission to provide investment services. 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.

8,241 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: FINTRAC — Money Services Business Registry (8,241). 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 Canada 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 Canada 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.
