02 / Licences

Licences. 8 numbers on file.

Copied from the linked page, with the entity that holds each one. A pending pass means the regulator was named without a number we could copy.

03 / Licence strength

Licence strength. Every term shown.

A transparent count of the regulators behind this record and the licences read on a register. It is not a safety rating, and a missing score is never a zero.

Each distinct regulator with a verified, numbered licence counts once: Tier 1 · major onshore = 3, Tier 2 · mid-tier = 2, Tier 3 · offshore = 1, not in our reference set = 1. Plus 1 per licence read on the regulator’s register. Pending licences add nothing. This is a count of what is on file, not a safety rating. Tiers are Market Explain’s editorial grouping, explained on the methodology page.

04 / Protection by entity

Protection by entity. Rule beside statement.

For each licensed entity: the regulator's own retail rules, what the broker publishes for that entity, and links to check the register yourself.

Regulator rules are quoted from official pages in our reference set (checked 2 Nov 2026); broker statements are the broker’s own and often apply to one entity or website only. Which entity holds your account is named in your client agreement.

05 / Accounts and costs

Accounts and costs. Pending.

Account terms as the broker publishes them, the EUR/USD floor where the text allows a computation, leverage per entity, fees and payment rails.

Account types · pendingCompare cost floors →

Pending verification. No account rows on file yet.

Floor = advertised EUR/USD spread × USD 10 per pip + commission for both sides, per 100,000 EUR lot. Advertised “from” or average spreads are the broker’s own figures, not measured spreads; real costs are higher when spreads widen.

Leverage by entity · broker-published maximums

Pending verification

Log scale shared by every record, up to the highest ratio published on file (1:10,000). Higher leverage means larger possible losses; retail caps onshore are usually far lower.
