VAHA Review: Regulation, Licences & Platforms

VAHA is a forex and CFD brokerage operated by Vaha Financial Services Ltd, based in Saint Lucia. The broker offers online trading services through the MetaTrader 4 platform and can be found online at vahatrade.com.

Regulation & licensing

VAHA is associated with entities recorded under two separate regulators.

In the United Kingdom, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lists VASEY & HARRIS ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED under reference number 759206.

In South Africa, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) lists VAHA FINANCIAL (PTY) LTD under licence number 52893.

The brand therefore appears in connection with multiple regulated entities across different jurisdictions, while the operating company itself, Vaha Financial Services Ltd, is registered in Saint Lucia. Readers should note the distinction between the Saint Lucia operating entity and the separately named entities held under the FCA and FSCA.

Trading platforms

VAHA provides access to MetaTrader 4 (MT4), a widely used platform known for charting tools, technical indicators, and support for automated trading via Expert Advisors.

Account types

The broker offers three account types:

• Cent — an account denominated in cents, typically used for smaller position sizes.
• Standard — a general-purpose trading account.
• Pro — an account aimed at more experienced traders.

Before opening an account, readers are encouraged to verify a broker’s licence status directly with the relevant regulator — the FCA in the United Kingdom and the FSCA in South Africa — using the entity names and licence numbers listed above.
