CySEC-Regulated Forex Brokers

Brokers in our database with an entity licensed by the CySEC, with licence numbers and our verification status.

These brokers have a legal entity licensed by the CySEC. A licence in the group only protects you if that entity is the one you open your account with, which is normally the case for residents of the European Economic Area.

What to check before choosing

Open the broker’s review and find the CySEC row in the entity table. Look the licence number up on the official register and make sure the legal name and website match. If you live elsewhere, change the country at the top of the page to see which entity would serve you instead.

How this list is ranked: brokers must match the criteria above and hold at least one tier 1 or tier 2 licence. They are then ordered by Dossier Score. Measured trading cost is not part of the ranking yet. Methodology.
