ANJOUAN AND MOHELI (MWALI) AS “OFFSHORE” LICENSING HUBS

For years, online forex brokers and other financial service providers
have sought out jurisdictions with minimal regulatory oversight to
secure licenses quickly. Anjouan (also known as Ndzuwani) and Moheli
(Mwali)—two of the three main islands forming the Union of the
Comoros—have been referenced by unscrupulous operators as
“offshore finance centers” from which they claim to obtain
official banking or forex licenses.

Prior to the BCC’s crackdown, certain local administrative
bodies—called “Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority,” “Mwali
International Services Authority” (MISA), or similar—marketed
services to international clients for corporate registrations and
financial licenses. In practice, however, according to the Central
Bank, any bank or financial services provider must be vetted and
licensed EXCLUSIVELY by the BCC. These offshore “authorities”
never had lawful authority to issue global banking or forex broker
permits.

THE CENTRAL BANK’S OFFICIAL POSITION

On June 15, 2022, the Banque Centrale des Comores published a
communiqué entitled COMMUNIQUÉ DE LA BANQUE CENTRALE DES COMORES
SUR L’EXERCICE ILLÉGAL D’ACTIVITÉS BANCAIRES OFFSHORES. The
document warns the public to beware of multiple organizations claiming
to hold or issue licenses within the Union of the Comoros, including:

ENTITIES ALLEGEDLY LICENSED BY “MWALI INTERNATIONAL SERVICES
AUTHORITY (MISA).”ENTITIES ALLEGEDLY LICENSED BY ANJOUAN-BASED
AUTHORITIES, SUCH AS THE “ANJOUAN OFFSHORE FINANCE
AUTHORITY.”VARIOUS ONLINE PLATFORMS PRESENTING THEMSELVES AS
“OFFSHORE BANKS” OR “FOREX BROKERAGES,” USING REGISTRATION
DOCUMENTS FROM THESE ISLANDS.

According to the communiqué, none of these offshore “authorities”
are recognized or authorized by the BCC, which underscores that the
issuance of any such purported license is illegal. The BCC has lodged
complaints with Comorian prosecutors (parquets de Moroni, Mutsamudu,
and Moheli) to pursue legal action against these bodies and the
entities that claim their licensure.

EXCLUSIVE REGULATORY AUTHORITY

Under Comorian law, the BCC retains absolute authority to oversee,
regulate, and license all banks and financial institutions in the
country. Any firm claiming to be approved by alternative
agencies—especially those in Anjouan or Moheli—has no genuine
legal right to offer financial services. As a result, any reference to
“Anjouan licensing” or “Moheli (Mwali) forex licensing” is, by
definition, invalid and potentially indicates a scam.

COMMON TACTICS BY “ANJOUAN” OR “MOHELI” LICENSE HOLDERS

OFFICIAL-LOOKING CERTIFICATES
 Brokers or financial companies may display certificates featuring
stamps, seals, or Comorian symbols to appear legitimate. Despite the
formal appearance, these documents do NOT confer legal status unless
they bear the official backing of the BCC.USE OF COMOROS-RELATED
DOMAINS
 Websites such as anjouanregister.com [4] or mwaliregistrar.com
[5] have masqueraded as genuine regulatory portals. The BCC
explicitly lists such sites as part of the fraudulent network and
strongly advises against engaging with them.RAPID, LOW-COST
REGISTRATION
 Firms peddling these questionable licenses emphasize how quickly and
cheaply one can become “licensed.” In genuine jurisdictions, the
licensing process requires comprehensive background checks, compliance
frameworks, and ongoing regulatory supervision—costly and
time-intensive procedures inconsistent with “overnight” or
“instant” approvals.INTERNATIONAL [6] “UMBRELLA” CLAIMS
 Some companies claim that an “Anjouan” or “Moheli (Mwali)”
license can open doors to global markets (e.g., Europe, Asia). Since
such licenses are not recognized by the BCC—or by any reputable
regulator—they confer NO legitimacy in foreign markets.

METAQUOTES’ ROLE AND THE GROWING CONTROVERSY

An emerging point of concern revolves around METAQUOTES, the
developer of MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 (MT4/MT5), which are among
the world’s most popular trading platforms in the retail forex and
CFD industry. While MetaQuotes is not a regulatory body, its
willingness to grant platform licenses to entities based on dubious or
unverified credentials has, according to industry critics, contributed
to the proliferation of fraudulent brokers.

ACCEPTANCE OF COMOROS “LICENSES”
SOME BROKERS CLAIMING ANJOUAN OR MWALI (MOHELI) LICENSES HAVE
REPORTEDLY OBTAINED MT4 OR MT5 PLATFORM RIGHTS FROM METAQUOTES. By
recognizing these fake documents as if they were genuine regulatory
approvals, MetaQuotes effectively gives fraudulent brokers the
technological backbone to operate. This step can mislead traders into
believing that if a broker can use MetaTrader software, it must be
trustworthy.BRANDING POWER
 MetaTrader’s reputation as the industry-standard platform often
lends immediate credibility to any broker running it. Unsuspecting
clients might assume that MetaQuotes has vetted or validated the
broker’s regulatory standing, when in fact the software provider
typically does not thoroughly investigate the legitimacy of a
broker’s claimed license.CALLS FOR STRICTER VETTING
 Industry observers argue that METAQUOTES SHOULD ADOPT MORE ROBUST
DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSES, especially when a broker presents
documentation from little-known or controversial sources like the
“Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority” or “Mwali International
Services Authority.” Failure to do so, these critics
contend, ENABLES SCAMS to flourish, as unlicensed brokers can
present themselves as “fully operational” on a globally recognized
trading platform.IMPACT ON TRADERS
 The apparent endorsement by an established software vendor often
disarms potential investors’ skepticism. As a result, consumers
deposit funds with a broker that neither holds a legitimate license
nor offers any real protections—leaving traders especially
vulnerable to fraud, financial loss, or a complete inability to
recover their deposits.
