Quick guide

How to choose a regulator?

An authority’s name is not enough. Always check the licence, legal entity and protections that actually apply to your account.

  1. 01

    Identify the entity

    Record the broker’s exact legal name, not only its trading brand.

  2. 02

    Check the register

    Search the regulator’s official register and match the licence number.

  3. 03

    Assess protection

    Check fund segregation, compensation schemes and dispute handling.

  4. 04

    Confirm your jurisdiction

    The same brand may use different entities depending on your country of residence.

01

European framework

ESMA coordinates the MiFID framework, while authorisation and supervision are handled by national authorities.

02

EU national authorities

AMF/ACPR in France, BaFin in Germany, CySEC in Cyprus, CNMV in Spain, CONSOB in Italy…

03

Other jurisdictions

FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia, FINMA in Switzerland, NFA/CFTC in the US, among others.

Understand regulatory authorities

Start with your country of residence, identify the broker’s legal entity, then verify it in the official register shown. One brand may depend on several entities and regulators.

A licence shown on a website is not proof: the official register is authoritative.
