Who actually onboards you

- Local standing
- Offshore Tier-3 (Comoros MISA); no verified current UAE SCA/FSRA authorisation and no local compensation scheme.
- Licence as the register states it
- Held under Comoros MISA licence T2023236; an older FSRA (ADGM) UAE licence belonged to the prior Exinity operator and is not verified as current for the Alpari brand.
- Leverage for this entity
- Up to 1:3000 on forex/metals offshore; not capped by a UAE regulator.
- The firm behind it
- Alpari brand founded 1998 (Russian origin); one of the oldest retail forex names, now run offshore by Parlance Trading Ltd with 1M+ claimed clients.
- What we hold against it
- Offshore Tier-3 regulation; legacy Exinity/regulated-entity claims in older reviews are stale and should not be relied on.
Leverage by entity
The licence belongs to the firm; a leverage figure belongs to one entity. Only the entity that onboards UAE residents enters the score.
Scale from 1:10 to 1:3000, logarithmic.

"group" marks a figure the broker publishes for the group rather than for this country. It is shown because the broker states it, and it is not ranked, averaged or used to sort.
Methodology(6 axes · formula v1.0)
Score = 2 + 3 × weighted mean of six axes scored 0–100. Range 2.0–5.0. An axis without data drops out and the remaining weights are renormalised; it is never scored zero or estimated. Group-wide figures never enter a UAE score. Full methodology
