brokers have a licensed entity on file in the United Kingdom.

This is not an eligibility check.

It lists the licensed entities on file. It never says that a broker accepts residents of the United Kingdom: accepted-country lists are pending verification for 36 of the records. The broker picks the entity that opens your account at sign-up, and the client agreement names it. Read that name, then check it on the regulator's register, before you deposit.

02 / Entities on file

Who holds a licence in the United Kingdom?Sorted by where the entity sits.

Local entities come first, then other EEA entities, then brokers whose entities are all elsewhere. Within a group: best regulator tier, then the number of matching licences, then name.

Licensed entity on file in your country20

A licence record on file names an entity in this country. The client agreement still decides which entity holds your account.

  1. 01Only licence records that are on file count: verified ones and those the broker names without a number (shown as pending verification). Licences still awaiting a source are left out.
  2. 02Local: at least one licence record names an entity in the country you picked. Areas such as Dubai (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi (ADGM) count as the United Arab Emirates.
  3. 03EEA: you picked an EEA country, no local entity is on file, and at least one licence is in another EEA state. EU passporting can let such a firm serve you, but we have not verified a passport, so every row says so.
  4. 04Elsewhere: licences are on file, none in your country (or the EEA when that applies). The row lists the countries where they sit.
  5. 05No licence on file: we have not sourced a licence record for the broker yet. That is a gap in our data, not a finding.
  6. 06Order inside a group: best regulator tier among the matching licences, then the number of matching licences, then name. Tiers are Market Explain's editorial grouping, explained on the Regulators page.
  7. 07Your country is read from the link, then from your last pick in this browser, then from your browser's language region, and is otherwise an example. Nothing is sent anywhere.
