CY TIER 1 Cyprus

CySEC

Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission

CySEC is the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission. For a CIF, match the legal entity, licence number, status, approved trade names and domains, then confirm which entity onboards you. EU service scope, negative-balance protection and Investor Compensation Fund eligibility are conditional and cannot be inferred from the brand alone.

Investor compensation
ICF, up to €20,000 per person

These are the jurisdiction’s general rules for retail clients, not a promise by any individual broker; professional clients are treated differently. The licensed entity that onboards you governs in practice. Source Checked 2026-08

How to verify a licence with this authority

Do not search the brand alone. Match the legal entity, identifier, current status, permitted activities and registered domain on the official register.

  1. Find the full legal entity that the broker says will contract with you.
  2. Search that entity or licence identifier in the official register.
  3. Match status, permissions, address and registered domain; watch for clone firms.
  4. Confirm that the entity serves your location and client category, then read the protection limits.
