We checked 42 Financial Services on 2026-10-18 across its regulation, company record, client terms, trading offer and service, and could verify 50% of its record. It claims 1 licence on its site, but none has been checked on an official register yet. The score of 50 is what the checked record adds up to; nothing held it down. The rating stays provisional until a claimed licence is checked on an official register. What would move the score: licence held by the onboarding entity, verified age, transparency. No investigation has been published yet, so complaints and reputation are unknown. Its client terms have not been reviewed yet.

42 Financial Services Broker Overview
42 Financial Services is the trading name of 42 Financial Services a.s., a Czech investment firm based at Klimentska 1216/46 in Prague 1. The company describes itself as a wholesale trading venue and broker for energy and financial products in the CEE region, and it operates two desks: an inter-dealer broker desk covering government bonds, interest rate and currency derivatives and deposits, and an energy broker desk. Its stated clients are major European banks and multinational banking and financial institutions, not private individuals.
The company was entered in the Czech Commercial Register on 28 November 2008 and became a joint stock company in 2013. Its own timeline places the emergence of the 42 Financial Services brand in 2011, membership of The London Energy Brokers' Association in 2015, and authorisation to run a multilateral trading facility in 2016 and an organised trading facility in 2018.
42 Financial Services Regulation and License
The company's states that 42 Financial Services a.s. holds an investment firm licence granted by the Czech National Bank on 15 November 2011 under reference 2011/12955/570, that it is an authorised broker under Directive 2014/65/EU (MiFID II), and that it is authorised to operate an Organised Trading Facility. The company names the Czech National Bank as its supervisory authority and states that its energy brokering is additionally subject to REMIT and to the Czech Energy Regulatory Authority.
The Czech Commercial Register entry for the company records a matching scope of business: securities dealer activities for professional customers, being banks, financial institutions and commodity dealers, covering reception and transmission of orders, execution of orders on the client's account and the operation of an organised trading system in bonds, financial derivatives, money market instruments, commodity derivatives and emission allowances. The company also publishes the LEI 31570010000000050826, BIC FNSECZP1 and market identifier code FTFS.
Is 42 Financial Services Regulated?
Yes on the company's own account, and the claim is consistent with the official corporate record, although this research did not open the Czech National Bank's own firm register to confirm the licence reference directly. The authorisation as published is an onshore European investment firm licence rather than an offshore registration, and its scope as recorded in the Commercial Register is limited to professional customers.
42 Financial Services a.s.
The operating company is registered under identification number 28492722 in the Commercial Register kept by the Municipal Court in Prague, section B, insert 19423, with registered share capital of CZK 10,000,000. Its sole shareholder is 42 Financial Services Holding s.r.o., identification number 17843774, at the same Prague address. The board is chaired by David Kreisinger, with Michal Pokorny as vice chairman.
Is 42 Financial Services Safe?
For the institutional counterparties it serves, the firm presents an unusually transparent picture: a named, long standing and currently active Czech legal entity at a verifiable Prague address, published articles of association, annual statements, execution and conflict of interest policies, an OTF rulebook and a Wolfsberg questionnaire. The company also discloses that it qualifies as a small and non-interconnected Class 3 investment firm under Regulation (EU) 2019/2033. The relevant limitation for a private reader is different: this is not a retail trading provider, and none of the retail protections a reader might be looking for apply, because retail accounts are not offered.
42 Financial Services Account Types
The company publishes no retail account tiers, no minimum deposit and no leverage. Access is through a negotiated client relationship with a corporate counterparty, and the company states that identification and verification of the client company and its statutory bodies under MiFID II and anti money laundering rules is a precondition of any contractual relationship.
42 Financial Services Trading Platforms
The company refers to its own trading facility and to a proprietary information system supporting trading and reporting, completed in the 2022 to 2023 period. It publishes a user guide for that system. No third party retail platform is offered.

42 Financial Services Pros and Cons
Named Czech legal entity, active in the Commercial Register since 2008, at a real Prague office.
Onshore European investment firm authorisation published with its number, date and scope.
Unusually full public documentation, including the OTF rulebook, execution policy and annual statements.
No retail offering: no accounts, no leverage, no deposits and no platform for individual traders.
Client documentation is largely published in Czech, which limits what a non Czech reader can review.
42 Financial Services Review and Assessment
42 Financial Services is a wholesale intermediary rather than a retail broker. The important consideration before making contact is simply eligibility: the firm's published permission covers professional customers, and an individual looking for a leveraged trading account will not find one here. Institutions evaluating the firm should read the OTF rulebook, the product schedule and the execution policy on the company's regulatory hub, and confirm the Czech National Bank authorisation directly with the supervisor.
42 Financial Services is listed with a tier-1 or tier-2 licence that we have not yet checked against the regulator's register. An unchecked licence is not a finding either way.

Peer comparison
Brokers worth comparing
One other broker on the record shares what 42 Financial Services offers — its country, regulator, account types or platforms — set beside it on the same measures.
Its regulatory hub publishes the articles of association, annual statements, a Wolfsberg questionnaire, pre-trade information, client categorisation, information on investment instruments and their risks, a product schedule, IDB and energy terms and conditions, the OTF rulebook, a user guide, a costs and fees document, an execution policy, a conflict of interest policy, a complaints handling policy, an anti money laundering statement, a GDPR policy and statements on ethical and anti-corruption standards. Most are published in Czech.
By telephone on +420 233 084 242, by email at info@42fs.com, or at the registered office at Klimentska 46, 110 02 Prague 1. The company also maintains a LinkedIn page and a whistleblowing channel. There is no live chat.
The company describes itself as a wholesale venue for the CEE region and names major European banks and multinational financial institutions as its clients. It publishes no list of accepted or restricted jurisdictions, and no onboarding form exists from which an enforced country list could be read.
Nothing found in this research supports that. The company behind the brand is a named, currently active Czech joint stock company at a verifiable Prague address, with its officers, shareholder, share capital and permitted business scope all recorded in the state Commercial Register, and its regulatory documentation published in full. The realistic risk for a reader is a different one: mistaking a wholesale intermediary for a retail trading provider it is not.
The company publishes no deposit or withdrawal channels, no payment methods and no funding fees, which is consistent with an intermediary that brokers trades between institutional counterparties rather than holding retail client balances.
The legal entity was entered in the Czech Commercial Register on 28 November 2008 and is still active. The company's own timeline dates the emergence of the 42 Financial Services business name to 2011 and the conversion to a joint stock company to 2013.
It runs two brokerage desks. The inter-dealer broker desk intermediates trades in government bonds, interest rate and currency derivatives and deposits between banking counterparties. The energy desk brokers physical and financial energy products. It also operates an Organised Trading Facility on which bonds, structured financial instruments, EU emission allowances and derivatives may be traded.
No. The company refers only to its own trading facility and to a proprietary information system supporting trading and reporting, for which it publishes a user guide. No third party retail platform is offered.
The company publishes no leverage figures. Leverage is a retail trading account parameter and this firm does not operate retail trading accounts.
None is published, because the company does not take retail deposits. Access is through a negotiated corporate client relationship rather than an online account funded by a minimum sum.
No. The company's published scope of business covers securities dealer activities for professional customers, described in the register as banks, financial institutions and commodity dealers. The website publishes no registration form, no account types and no client portal for individual traders.
The operating company is 42 Financial Services a.s., identification number 28492722, registered in the Commercial Register kept by the Municipal Court in Prague under file B 19423. Its sole shareholder is 42 Financial Services Holding s.r.o., identification number 17843774, at the same Prague address. The board is chaired by David Kreisinger, with Michal Pokorny as vice chairman.
The company states on its own regulatory hub that 42 Financial Services a.s. holds an investment firm licence granted by the Czech National Bank on 15 November 2011 under reference 2011/12955/570, and that it is authorised to operate an Organised Trading Facility under MiFID II. The Czech Commercial Register independently records the same permitted scope of business for the entity. The licence reference itself was not confirmed against the supervisor's own firm register in this research.
