Longbridge Regulation — What You Need to Know
Regulation is one of the most important factors when choosing a broker. A well-regulated broker must segregate client funds from its own operating capital, maintain minimum capital reserves, and submit to regular audits. This protects your money in the event of broker insolvency.
Longbridge holds 2 regulatory licences from SFC, MAS — including at least one tier-1 authority, which provides the highest level of investor protection available. The broker has been operating since 2019, giving it 7 years of track record.
When evaluating broker safety, look beyond the licence itself: check for investor compensation schemes, negative balance protection, and whether the broker publishes audited financial statements. Our rating methodology weights regulation at 25% of the overall broker score — the single largest factor.
