Global Prime is the online presence of a Global Prime Pty Limited, a company with an AFS license. AFS stands for Australian Financial Services, which is part of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. This is the regulatory body that is responsible for overseeing the Australian financial markets, which includes the operations of Forex brokers. Global Prime is an Australian based online Forex brokerage firm that has its headquarters located in Sydney, therefore ASIC is the obvious choice for regulation and licensing. It does, however, offer its services worldwide. For anyone looking for a Forex broker, our advice will always be to pick one that is regulated. Preferably in the country you live in, of course. So, the good news is that Global Prime is licensed and regulated.
