Notes from our checks
- ASIC 318232: AFSL 318232 per Axi's own FSG (July 2026 edition, read first-hand), and ASIC's OWN media releases 20-019MR and 21-044MR print the pairing verbatim as 'AFS licence 318 232' (both re-read and independently re-verified 2026-08-22). ASIC-authored text, so this is a first-hand regulator confirmation even though ASIC Connect itself stays blocked to automated reads. Documented history: 2020 suspension (stayed), 2021 additional conditions — official media releases in regulatoryHistory.
- FCA 466201: Axi Financial Services (UK) Limited, status Authorised — read via the official FCA Register API (account-keyed, regulator-authored data) (2026-08-26). Also named as the genuine firm on the FCA's clone-warning page. Re-read 2026-09-09 direct from the FCA Register API (Firm/466201): 'Axi Financial Services (UK) Limited', status 'Authorised'.
- CySEC 433/23: Read first-hand on the CySEC register: licence 433/23 dated 10/07/2023, company reg 376148; the register entry lists approved domains axi-solaris.com/eu and /pl (EU residents only).
- DFSA F003742: Read first-hand on the DFSA public register on 23 September 2026: AxiCorp Financial Services Pty Ltd (DIFC Branch), reference F003742. Licensed 1 April 2018; trading names Axi and One Financial Markets, retail endorsement. The entry permits Arranging Deals in Investments (Futures); it does not establish execution or custody permission.
- FSA 4303 LLC 2025: Company registration (not a licence): Axi's own client agreement (7 Jul 2026, read first-hand) states the SVG FSA does not regulate margin FX/CFD issuers — the entity self-discloses as unregulated for this business.
Which Axi entity would onboard you?
The brand is not the counterparty. The legal entity on your client agreement sets your regulator, compensation cover, leverage cap and terms.
| Legal entity | Regulator | Typically onboards | Compensation | Leverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AxiCorp Financial Services Pty Ltd Australia | ASIC (Tier 1) | AU | None identified | Retail CFD leverage capped at 30:1 (ASIC rules). |
| Axi Financial Services (UK) Limited United Kingdom | FCA (Tier 1) | GB | FSCS — up to £85,000 for eligible clients. | Retail CFD leverage capped at 30:1 (FCA rules). |
| Solaris EMEA Limited Cyprus | CySEC (Tier 2) | AT, BE, BG, HR, CY, CZ, DK, EE, FI, FR, DE, GR, HU, IE, IT, LV, LT, LU, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SI, ES, SE | ICF — up to €20,000 for eligible clients. | Retail CFD leverage capped at 30:1 (ESMA rules). |
| AxiCorp Financial Services Pty Ltd (DIFC Branch) Dubai (DIFC), UAE | DFSA (Tier 2) | AE | None identified | See terms |
| AxiTrader LLC St Vincent & the Grenadines | FSA (SVG) (Offshore) | Most other countries (rest-of-world default) | None identified · No negative-balance protection | See terms |
Resolve the likely entity for your country with the entity checker, then confirm the entity named on your client agreement before you deposit.
What the licences actually give you
Three protections worth checking by name. Any of them can be missing even when a broker is licensed somewhere.
| Compensation scheme | FSCS up to £85,000 (UK-entity clients); ICF up to €20,000 (EU-entity clients) |
| Segregated client fundsSegregated fundsClient money held in bank accounts kept separate from the broker's own funds, so it isn't used to run the business and is easier to return if the firm fails. | Yes, per the broker's disclosures |
| Negative-balance protectionNegative-balance protectionA safeguard that stops your account going below zero, so you can't end up owing the broker more than you deposited. Mandatory for retail clients in some regions. | Yes, for retail clients where the regulator requires it |
| UK entity (retail) | 30:1 |
| EU entity (retail) | 30:1 |
| Australian entity (retail) | 30:1 |

Which Axi entity would I be onboarded by?
Our map lists 5 Axi legal entities (Australia, United Kingdom, Cyprus, Dubai (DIFC), UAE and St Vincent & the Grenadines). A listing does not establish retail account availability: consultation or introduction entities and institutional-only firms are not retail trading-account routes. Which company applies depends on your country and client agreement. Use the entity checker for the likely match, then confirm it before depositing.
Does Axi have investor compensation?
FSCS up to £85,000 (UK-entity clients); ICF up to €20,000 (EU-entity clients). Compensation schemes pay out only if the firm itself fails and cannot return client money; they never cover trading losses, and they apply only to clients of the specific licensed entity, not to every Axi client worldwide.
Has the FCA published a warning naming Axi?
Yes. 1 FCA clone-firm warning names Axi's genuine authorised entity as the firm being impersonated, most recently on 2023-02-02 — a warning about fraudsters, not about Axi. Each warning is listed on this page with a link to the FCA's own text.
Has Axi been fined or warned by a regulator?
Our log holds 2 sourced regulator notes for Axi, the most recent dated 2021-03-10 (ASIC (Australia)). Each is listed on this page with a link to the official source.
