What is a CFD AFSL?
A CFD AFSL is an Australian Financial Services Licence that ASIC has authorised to provide financial services in relation to contracts for difference (CFDs) and similar over-the-counter leveraged margin products. The CFD register listed here shows every AFSL holder authorised for CFD activities, with the AFSL number, registered state, status and licence conditions visible on each record.
What a CFD licence covers
A CFD AFSL typically covers issuing CFDs to retail clients, dealing in CFDs, providing CFD advice or running a CFD trading platform. The exact authorisations on any specific CFD licence are set out in the AFSL conditions — open a record to review them in full.
Who typically holds a CFD AFSL
CFD issuers, online brokers, prop trading firms and AFSL-authorised dealers are the most common CFD AFSL holders. Authorised representatives operating under those licensees also appear in the AFS Representatives register and can be looked up alongside their licensee.
Who needs a CFD AFSL
Any Australian business that issues, deals in or advises on CFDs as a financial product generally needs a CFD AFSL with the relevant authorisations, plus compliance with ASIC's CFD product intervention rules.
How to use this CFD AFSL search
Every row in the CFD register below is a clickable CFD AFSL record. You can refine the CFD AFSL search by state, paginate through the results, or open a licensee detail page to see the full CFD licence record.
Search by CFD licensee name
Type the business name into the global AFSL search box to run a CFD licensee lookup across the AFSL register and any matching credit, DCE or remittance records held by the same entity.
Search by AFSL number, ABN or ACN
If you already have a CFD licensee's AFSL number, ABN or ACN, the global search box accepts all four identifiers and resolves to the matching CFD AFSL record. Useful for verifying a CFD AFSL by its unique number.
Filter the CFD register by state
Use the state filter above the table to narrow the CFD AFSL register to a specific Australian jurisdiction — handy when you need a CFD licensee that operates in a particular state or territory.
