Stock Brokers in Bahamas, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

The Bahamas is a frequent offshore base for forex and CFD broker entities serving non-EU/non-US clients. SCB-licensed firms — including FxPro Global Markets and similar offshore arms of larger broker groups — operate under a lighter regulatory regime than tier-1 jurisdictions like the FCA or ASIC. Domestic retail demand is small relative to the volume passed through SCB-licensed entities to international clients.

Payment methods
Wire transferVisaMastercard
Tax

Bahamas does not levy personal income tax, capital gains tax or withholding tax. Forex and CFD profits earned by Bahamian residents are not taxable. Non-residents trading via Bahamian-licensed entities are taxed by their country of residence — a SCB licence does not change a trader's home tax obligations.

Retail trading rules

No statutory leverage cap. SCB-licensed brokers commonly offer 1:200 to 1:500 retail leverage, with some marketing 1:500+ to international clients. There is no statutory compensation scheme equivalent to the EU ICF or UK FSCS. Client-money segregation is required under SCB rules but enforcement intensity is lower than tier-1 jurisdictions. Disputes go through the broker's complaints process or, ultimately, Bahamian courts — there is no consumer-style ombudsman.
