Check the local authorities, licensed entities, client-protection limits and official complaint routes for United Kingdom.
A UK broker check should start with the legal entity and FRN on the FCA Register, not the brand alone. Match current status, permissions, address, trading names and registered domains, then confirm that the same entity appears in the client agreement.
The FCA supervises UK financial services within the permissions it grants. An international brand may use UK, EU and offshore entities; an FCA-authorised brand does not prove that every customer is onboarded by the UK entity.
Client-money rules, complaint eligibility and FSCS eligibility are conditional on the contracting entity, client category, product and service. A maximum compensation figure is not a guarantee against trading losses.
Before opening an account, match the FRN, entity, registered domain and permissions. Pause if the domain is absent from the record or the platform asks you to pay another legal entity, and verify through the FCA or the firm’s official channel.
Use the firm’s formal complaint process first and retain a written record. If unresolved, follow the FCA guidance for the dispute-resolution or complaint route for which the case is eligible.
This list reflects only locally licensed relationships verified in our database. It does not prove that a broker accepts every location or client category; confirm the contracting entity before opening an account.
