Trading from Cyprus

CySEC licenses and supervises Cyprus investment firms. It applies EU-style retail CFD limits (leverage caps, margin close-out and negative balance protection) and oversees the Investor Compensation Fund.

Before you sign up

Five checks for Cyprus

Find the firm on CySEC’s register yourself, not through a link the firm sent.
Check that the company named on your account agreement is the one on the register.
Confirm the website, phone and email match the register entry.
Ask which compensation scheme covers your account (here: ICF), and up to what amount.
Size your first trades inside the retail cap: position size check.
