SINGUARD in Belize

Trading platform and CRM for Belize brokers.

Belize has been a working base for internationally facing trading firms for years. A licence and a company are the start of it. The terminal, the feed and the back office are the rest.

The pattern in Belize City is consistent. A founder has a Belize company, an FSC application either in progress or approved, an introducing partner with an audience, and a slide from a white label vendor quoting a monthly figure that turns out to exclude the data feed, the mobile apps and anything resembling a CRM. Then they start comparing properly.

SINGUARD is a software company. No office in Belize City, no Belize entity, no local licence or staff. We build the platform and the systems behind it, we host and run them, and we travel to the industry events where the firms we work with are in the room. The licence, the client funds and the compliance file stay with you.

Who this is for

Firms taking international retail clients under a Belize authorisation, and prop firms selling evaluation accounts who want a recognised corporate and licensing wrapper. Also the group that has been running on a rented MetaTrader white label and now wants a platform whose availability does not depend on somebody else's vendor relationship.

Whichever you are, the technical requirement is the same: a branded terminal clients will use on a phone, a real market data feed, an onboarding flow that satisfies your KYC policy, and records that stand up when questioned. The Belize FSC licence explained covers the regime, and how to start a forex brokerage sets out the order of operations.

The regulatory backdrop

Belize's international financial services sector is supervised by the Financial Services Commission. The FSC licenses and supervises the securities and trading activities that internationally facing brokers there conduct, sets the conditions attached to those licences, and publishes information on licensed entities. Belize has also revised its international business and AML legislation over the last several years in response to international review, and the practical effect for a licensee is more substance expected and closer attention to beneficial ownership and source of funds.

The point worth repeating to every founder: an offshore licence governs your firm, it does not override the rules of the countries you market into. Where you may solicit is a legal question for your own counsel, and it belongs in the plan before the marketing budget does. Regulated versus unregulated brokers and broker licence costs compared give you the shape of the decision.

Nothing here is legal or financial advice. SINGUARD is not a broker, bank, payment institution or adviser, holds no client money, and is never a party to your licence. We supply and operate software.

What we build and run

The eTrader platform runs on web, iOS and Android with charts, order tickets, alerts and its own market data feed included in the package. The Broker CRM handles onboarding, KYC workflow, deposits, withdrawals, account tiers, spreads and markups, IB structures and reporting. The Prop Firm CRM covers challenge design, the rules engine that scores drawdown and consistency, certificates, payouts and the audit trail behind every decision.

It is fully managed, so hosting, monitoring, patching and support are ours. Once your own licensing and paperwork are in place, your environment goes live in 24 hours with your branding, your instrument list and your rules configured.

Payments, banking and the practical detail

Belize is dollar-linked to the US dollar, which simplifies pricing for a firm quoting USD accounts. Everything else on the money side takes work. Correspondent banking for Belize entities has become slower and more selective than it was a decade ago, card acquiring for a CFD or evaluation business is high-risk merchant category work, and providers price and approve accordingly.

The realistic stack is several rails at once: a card processor, a crypto rail because a large share of clients in Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia prefer USDT, and wire for the larger tickets, with payouts arranged separately. Build the redundancy before launch. Banking for trading firms, high-risk merchant accounts and crypto payments for trading firms explain what each rail actually costs you. The CRM is provider-agnostic, so swapping or adding one later is configuration.

Languages, hours and firm shape

English is the working language in Belize, which helps, but your clients are rarely there. Firms licensed in Belize sell into Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, so the terminal, the portal, the emails and the certificates need to work in the client's language rather than yours. That is built in.

Belize sits at UTC-6 with no daylight saving, covering the New York session comfortably and the London open early. As with most offshore licensees, the operating team is usually somewhere else entirely and the Belize entity is the licensing and booking vehicle, with a registered agent handling local requirements. So the rules engine has to be trusted through the unattended hours, and the audit log has to show precisely why an account breached at 4am when the trader argues about it the next morning.

On our side, Alex Onta built eTrader with Roman Onta helping on the design, and Alex leads it. Alex Onta & Roman Onta built the Prop Firm CRM and the Broker CRM together and carry compliance, payments and corporate structuring between them.

Where SINGUARD is based, and where we meet firms in Belize City

All of the software, the contracts and the policies come from SGHK Softwares Limited in Hong Kong, the holding company that builds and licenses eTrader and both CRMs. The team works out of Dubai, where both Executive Directors, Alex Onta and Roman Onta, live for most of the year, and our licensed UAE entity is SINGUARD GLOBAL FZC in Ajman Free Zone. We hold no office or licence in Belize, and none is needed: the platform is delivered and managed from our own clustered servers, so a firm in Belize City runs exactly what a firm anywhere else runs, and your licence, your client money and your compliance obligations stay entirely with your own entity.

Being in Dubai keeps the team on the industry circuit and within easy reach of Belize City for calls and meetings, in a time zone that overlaps most of the trading world.

In person, the place to find us is the industry circuit. The team attends Forex Expo Dubai and the other major shows, wearing the SINGUARD and eTrader shirts, and you can walk up without an appointment, ask for a live demo of the terminal and both CRMs, and talk to the Executive Directors directly in English, Italian, Romanian or Russian. See where to find us at the expo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SINGUARD have an office in Belize City?

No. SINGUARD has no office, entity, licence or staff in Belize. We are a software company serving firms licensed there, working remotely, and we meet clients face to face at industry events.

Which body supervises trading firms in Belize?

The Financial Services Commission, the FSC, supervises international financial services in Belize, including the securities and trading regime under which brokers there are licensed. Your firm handles the application and the ongoing conditions.

Can a Belize licensed firm run evaluations and a live book together?

Yes. Firms in Belize City often start with evaluations and add a live brokerage later. The Prop Firm CRM and the Broker CRM share one platform and one client record, so the second business is a configuration step rather than a second system.

How quickly can a Belize firm be trading?

The platform and CRM go live within 24 hours once your FSC licensing and company paperwork are complete. We give no estimate for the licence itself, that timetable belongs to the regulator and your advisers.
