How many regulated institutions does Sovereign Tax Atlas audit in its 2026 Cross-Border Structuring, CRS/FATCA & Offshore Financial Centres benchmark?

Sovereign Tax Atlas currently audits 92 English-verified financial institutions across 51 competent supervisory authorities within its Cross-Border Structuring, CRS/FATCA & Offshore Financial Centres coverage slice.

How is the 6D Compliance Score calculated on Sovereign Tax Atlas?

The 6D model combines Licence Standing (30%), Risk Telemetry (25%), Institutional Scale (15%), Industry Footprint (15%), and Execution & User Signals (15%) on a 0.0–10.0 scale, as documented at /methodology.

Why can two clients of the same financial brand receive different regulatory protections?

Global brokerage and exchange groups frequently operate multiple legal subsidiaries across Tier-1 onshore regimes and offshore jurisdictions. Investor compensation, leverage limits, and client-money segregation depend strictly on the specific legal entity named in your onboarding contract.

Where can I verify an institution's licence number directly against official government records?

Every institution dossier and regulator profile on Sovereign Tax Atlas links directly to the issuing authority's official public register (such as FCA FRN Register, SEC EDGAR, FINRA BrokerCheck, NFA BASIC, MAS FID, or FinCEN MSB Search).

Can AI agents and compliance scripts query Sovereign Tax Atlas's benchmark data programmatically?

Yes. Sovereign Tax Atlas provides public REST endpoints (/api/v1/verify/license, /api/v1/verify/domain, /api/v1/brokers/{slug}), an OpenAPI 3.1 specification (/.well-known/openapi.json), and a JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP server (/api/mcp).
