Forex Brokers in Germany
Forex brokers in Germany are regulated by BaFin, a national financial regulator which is known as Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht. BaFin a highly respected and experienced regulator in Europe, which also oversees the broader financial industry, including insurance companies, banks, and other financial service providers.
Forex brokers in Germany mainly serve local German forex traders only. However, a forex broker is not required to be regulated by BaFin to offer its services in Germany. As an EU country, Germany also recognizes forex broker licenses from any other EU member state. Therefore, some forex brokers with no BaFin regulation are still able to serve the German traders.
