Goldman Sachs FX (Marquee) — institutional liquidity provider

Goldman Sachs FX operates under the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., founded in 1869. It holds multiple Tier-1 licenses in the US and UK, facilitating FX services through its Marquee Trader FX platform. Self-measured claims regarding market share and execution performance should be approached with caution due to their subjective nature.

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (FX via Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, US; Goldman Sachs International, UK) · New York, USA · last re-checked 2026-09 · evidence score 98/100

Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-1 = FCA/ASIC/CFTC-class supervision, tier-2 = CySEC/FSC-Mauritius/MFSA-class, tier-3 = offshore registration. A tier-2 licence is genuine supervision without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to diligence than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as a disclosure, not a defect.
