Abstract:BMFN is an Australia-based broker, founded 5-10 years ago, and now regulated by ASIC (Australia Securities & Investment Commission) and FSPR (Financial Service Providers Register). However, the regulatory status of BMFN is very suspicious and the two licenses are likely to be cloned. What's more, the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) license of BMFN has already been revoked, which means BMFN is no longer regulated by FCA. The suspicious regulated status can lead to concerns for users.
