Vested Finance gets IFSCA Global Access Provider License (GAP) at GIFT City

Vested Finance has received approval as a Global Access Provider (GAP) under the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) at GIFT City. Vested Finance is a global investing platform for Indian investors living in India and globally to access international markets.

The GAP license provides a formal regulatory framework for offering access to overseas financial markets from India’s International Financial Services Centre. It defines how platforms connect investors to global markets, including arrangements with foreign brokers, account structures, transaction flows and reporting standards.

The firm, in a press release, said that under this framework, entities are required to operate within clearly defined regulatory boundaries covering client onboarding, fund movement, disclosures and execution.

The entities having GAP License are subject to minimum net worth and infrastructure requirements, segregation of client funds, defined KYC and AML responsibilities and periodic audits and regulatory reporting.

Viram Shah, Founder and CEO, Vested Finance, said, “GIFT City is beginning to take on a more defined role in how Indian investors across the world connect with global markets. The GAP framework is important because it sets clear expectations on how that access should be structured and delivered. For us, this is about bringing what we have already been building into a more formal regulatory environment. Investors today are looking at global markets as a core part of their portfolios, and that shift needs the right infrastructure behind it. Operating within this framework allows us to align more closely with regulatory standards while continuing to simplify how investors access global opportunities.”
