ForexBrokers.com has been reviewing online forex brokers for over six years, and our reviews are the most cited in the industry. Each year, we collect thousands of data points and publish tens of thousands of words of research. Here's how we test.

Trading forex (currencies) in Norway is popular among residents. While recommended, forex brokers are not required to become authorised by Finanstilsynet (The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) to accept residents of Norway as customers.

Finanstilsynet is the financial regulatory body in Norway. Website: https://www.finanstilsynet.no/. We recommend residents of Norway follow Finanstilsynet on Twitter: https://twitter.com/finanstilsynet.

Finanstilsynet

Finanstilsynet was established in 1986 and is responsible for supervision of financial companies in Norway. For a historical breakdown, here's a link to Finanstilsynet on Wikipedia.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 74% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

How to Verify Finanstilsynet Authorisation

Residents of Norway can search the Finanstilsynet company register to verify whether or not a broker is regulated by the Finanstilsynet. If a company is authorized, a company profile will be available with a registration number and date upon searching.

securityWhy regulation is important

Choosing a reputable, well-regulated forex broker is a crucial step towards avoiding forex scams. My educational series dedicated to forex scams shows you how to identify common forex scams and provides helpful information about what to do if you've been scammed.

2023 Review Methodology

At ForexBrokers.com, our reviews of online forex brokers and their products and services are based on our collected data as well as the observations and qualified opinions of our expert researchers. Each year we publish tens of thousands of words of research and detailed forex guides, and we monitor dozens of international regulator agencies (read more about how we calculate Trust Score here).

Our research team conducts thorough testing on a wide range of features, products, services, and tools (collecting and validating thousands of data points in the process). We test all available trading platforms for each broker – whether they are proprietary or come from third-party providers – and evaluate them based on a host of data-driven variables.

We also take an in-depth look at each broker’s commissions and fees, such as bid/ask spreads – including the average spread data for some of the most popular forex currency pairs. We research other trading costs, such as inactivity or custody fees, minimum deposit requirements, VIP rebates and/or discounts, and a range of other important fee-based data points.

Some of the other important research categories that are factored into our testing include mobile trading accessibility and capability, availability of market research and educational content, and each broker’s overall Trust Score.

All content on ForexBrokers.com is handwritten by a writer, fact-checked by a member of our research team, and edited and published by an editor. Generative AI tools are not a part of our content creation or product testing processes. Our ratings, rankings, and opinions are entirely our own, and the result of our extensive research and decades of collective experience covering the forex industry.
