What the record says

Trive's regulatory disclosure PDF states Trive Financial Services Ltd holds a Mauritius FSC Investment Dealer (Full-Service Dealer, excluding Underwriting) licence number GB21026295.

The same PDF states Trive South Africa (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2005/011130/07, is an authorised Financial Services Provider under FSCA FSP number 27231.

Trive's own disclosure page names Trive Financial Services Europe Limited under MFSA authorisation CRES IF 5048 and Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd under AFS licence 424122.

The group also names Trive New York LLC with FINRA CRD number 21946 and SEC registration 8-39420, and Trive International Ltd under BVI FSC licence SIBA/L/14/1066.

Group companies in Turkey are stated to be regulated by the Capital Markets Board (CMB).

ASIC cancelled the AFS licence of Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd effective 1 July 2026 (media release 26-147MR, published 9 July 2026), stating the company was no longer carrying on a financial services business in Australia; the firm had held licence 424122 since 24 July 2012 and had stopped onboarding new clients in April 2025 after ASIC's CFD-sector review identified serious deficiencies, and Trive lodged an Administrative Review Tribunal appeal on 30 July 2026 (asic.gov.au)

ASIC records that the Australian entity was previously known as ILQ Australia Pty Ltd (25 June 2012 - 29 July 2018) and Fairmarkets Trading Pty Ltd (30 July 2018 - 19 December 2023) (same release).
