VG Markets Successfully Obtains Australian Financial Services Licence

VG Markets Pty Ltd holds Australian Financial Services Licence No. 556530, extending the firm’s regulated operations across three jurisdictions

VG Markets today announced that it has successfully obtained Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) No. 556530. The licence establishes VG Markets Pty Ltd as the firm’s Australian-regulated entity and marks another milestone in the Group’s international regulatory strategy, extending its regulated operations across Australia, South Africa and Comoros.

The addition of an ASIC-authorised entity further strengthens VG Markets’ governance framework, institutional credibility and commitment to operating under recognised regulatory standards. It reflects the firm’s long-term strategy of building a diversified, multi-jurisdictional regulatory platform while maintaining consistent compliance, risk management and client protection standards.

VG Markets now operates through separately licensed entities across three jurisdictions:

• VG Markets (Pty) Ltd — authorised and regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa (FSP No. 54461);

• VG Markets Limited — licensed in Anjouan, Comoros (Licence No. L16087/VGM); and

• VG Markets Pty Ltd — holder of Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) No. 556530, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

VG Markets has built its regulated footprint progressively — establishing its FSCA-authorised operation in South Africa, extending into Comoros, and now adding an ASIC-authorised entity in Australia. This international footprint reflects the firm’s strategy of growing within established regulatory frameworks while maintaining consistent compliance, risk-management and client-protection standards across each market it serves.

Commenting on the milestone, a spokesperson for VG Markets said: “Australia is recognised globally for its robust financial regulatory framework. Securing Holding an AFSL represents another important milestone in VG Markets’ long-term growth strategy and reinforces our commitment to building a trusted, internationally regulated financial services group. As we continue expanding, compliance, transparency and responsible business practices will remain at the centre of everything we do.”

VG Markets will continue investing in regulatory excellence, technology and product development while strengthening its international presence and delivering services under recognised regulatory frameworks.
