STARTRADER

On the desk for one reason: single-entity structure. 2 register lines are on this file, spread across 2 legal entities in 2 jurisdictions, none of them with a top-tier regulator.

Thin file. Most of the commercial detail is unconfirmed and is left blank rather than estimated.

Tier is the desk's shorthand for the supervising regime, not a quality score: T1 a top-tier statutory regulator, T2 a mid-tier one, T3 an offshore registration.

What the record says

STARTRADER Limited is a Securities Dealer regulated by the FSA of Seychelles under licence SD049, registration number 8427362-1, per the company's own regulation page.

STARTRADER International Pty Ltd is a South African Financial Services Provider regulated by the FSCA under FSP number 52464.

STARTRADER's website displays reverse-solicitation notices to visitors in Spain and Italy stating it is not licensed by the CNMV or CONSOB and that those regulators' protections do not apply.

The company states it operates a network of licensed entities and has announced additional licences, including an SCA licence; the full current entity list was not confirmed for this record.

The STARTRADER site is behind bot protection, so parts of the regulation page could not be read directly and were sourced from the page's indexed text.
