Binary options are legal in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: no law there prohibits them.

How we score
Each binary options broker gets five sub-scores out of 5:
Platform (25%), costs and payouts (20%), deposits and withdrawals (15%), support (15%) and transparency and regulation (25%). The overall score is the weighted average, rounded to one decimal. None of these brokers is licensed by a top-tier regulator, which is why their transparency scores are low.
Availability is checked against each broker’s published list of restricted countries. The order of the ranking is set by our authors from their own experience with these platforms, so it does not always follow the scores.
Advertiser disclosure
Broksal is free to use because some brokers pay us a commission when you open an account through our links. It costs you nothing.
Commissions do not affect the facts we publish about regulation, payouts and country availability, which come from the brokers’ own documents and independent sources.

Binary options are high-risk products. Each trade is all-or-nothing: if the price ends on the wrong side, you lose the whole amount you staked. Most people who trade them lose money. Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and start on the free demo account. Nothing here is investment advice, and past payouts do not predict future results.

Is binary options trading legal in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?
Binary options are legal in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The FSA has stated that it does not license forex or binary options brokers. SVG-registered companies offering these services do so without FSA authorisation.
FSA (Financial Services Authority) does not supervise these brokers: they serve Saint Vincent and the Grenadines from abroad, and your client agreement is governed by the law of the country where the broker is registered. Our legality guide shows how we classify each country.
Tax
Profits from binary options must be taxed according to the local rules in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The broker does not deduct tax for you. Keep your statements and payment history. This is general information, not tax advice.
Paying in XCD
Deposits from a XCD account are converted once on the way in and again when you withdraw. A dollar card or account avoids most of that cost. Payment options depend on the country you choose at registration, and withdrawals usually go back to the method you paid with.
