February 11, 2019 | AtoZ Markets - The International Financial Services Commission (IFSC) in Belize has recently issued a list of Forex brokers, asset managers and binary option brokers whose license to operate in the country have been revoked. This announcement took effect from 1st January 2019. IFSC has therefore warned that any professional investment services provided by these firms to Belize's clients, without proper authorization, would be considered a criminal offence.
