What is Regulators?

In short

The authority a provider names as overseeing it, and a quick check on whether its paperwork adds up.

A regulator is the public authority that licenses and supervises a financial provider, and naming one is a basic check on legitimacy. A provider that is registered with a known authority is at least answerable to rules on client money and complaints. The names here differ by market. abarai points to SIA Paybis Europe, the Latvian crypto-asset service provider named on its terms as the external partner running the exchange. Agio Digital names the Securities Commission of The Bahamas, Airtm names FinCEN, Ajaib names Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) and Alpaca names SIPC. Check the register yourself rather than relying on a claim.
