FCA

Financial Conduct Authority

The FCA is the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Verify a UK broker by matching its legal entity, FRN, current status, permissions and registered domain on the FCA Register, not by brand name alone. Client-money rules, complaints and compensation eligibility depend on the contracting entity, client category and service.

What you actually get in this jurisdiction

Retail leverage cap
1:30
Investor compensation
FSCS, up to £85,000 per person
Negative balance protection
Mandatory
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.
