Forex Licence
The Comoros Forex Licence
A government-supervised forex brokerage licence with proportionate capital requirements and a six-week fast-track route.
Who it is for
The Comoros forex licence is built for brokerages that need a credible, properly supervised jurisdiction without the capital burden of a tier-one regime. It suits multi-jurisdiction brokers expanding into the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and institutional founders consolidating several licences under one structure.
Because PaiaFinance holds the exclusive distribution mandate granted by the Ministry of Finance in 2025, applications are filed directly rather than through intermediaries.
Why Comoros
Comoros historically suffered from unrecognised licences issued without a proper framework. The Ministry of Finance responded by taking professional advice and building a regime designed for international acceptance, including a new AML and KYC regulation voted in 2025.
The result is a jurisdiction with direct government oversight, a comprehensive legal framework aligned to international best practice, and a favourable tax treatment — with compliance requirements that remain proportionate to the size of the business.
