No AFSL means no AFCA, and that matters
Australian readers have the sharpest version of this problem, so it is worth stating plainly. AFCA handles complaints against its members, and membership goes with an Australian financial services licence or a credit licence. A broker without an AFSL is not an AFCA member, so AFCA cannot take your complaint. The Compensation Scheme of Last Resort sits downstream of AFCA determinations, so it does not reach you either.
That is a real difference from dealing with a domestically licensed broker, and it is the trade-off to weigh rather than a claim about anyone's conduct. Your route becomes the regulator of the entity named in your client agreement, filed abroad, on that regulator's timetable.
Three things to do before funding. Read the entity name in the agreement and keep a screenshot. Find that regulator's complaints page and skim what evidence it wants. Export statements and ticket history monthly so you are not reconstructing a year of trading during a dispute. Licensing position for Australian readers: Legal Australia. Path differences: account types. August 2026.
