List of Broker with CAYMAN ISLANDS MONETARY AUTHORITY Regulation

HOME / REGULATION / CAYMAN ISLANDS MONETARY AUTHORITY

The Cayman Islands is one of the biggest and most popular offshore financial centers in the world. It also has its fair share of forex brokers registered there. All forex brokers in the Cayman Islands are regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), which also runs as the Caribbean island’s central bank.
