How do I verify a forex broker license is real?
Look up the license number on the regulator official register. FCA: register.fca.org.uk. CySEC: cysec.gov.cy/en-GB/entities/investment-firms. BaFin: portal.mvp.bafin.de. ASIC: asic.gov.au/online-services. The broker entity name must match exactly. Cross-reference license dates and any restrictions or warnings.
FSCS vs ICF — what compensation do EU and UK forex traders get?
UK clients of FCA-regulated brokers are covered by FSCS up to £85,000 per person, per institution. EU clients of CySEC-regulated brokers are covered by ICF (Investor Compensation Fund) up to EUR 20,000. Both schemes pay out only if the broker becomes insolvent — not on trading losses.
