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.

    Broker-published leverage for this entity

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. 5 account rows.

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

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.
