About this FCA licence

What this authorisation is, what it establishes, and what it leaves open.

On 12 November 2026, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) listed FXOpen Ltd, reference number 579202, as authorised with an application to cancel. FXOpen Ltd is a UK company with Companies House number 07273392. FXOpen Ltd is one of the companies behind the FXOpen brand. The FCA record shows FXOpen Ltd as authorised since 22 March 2013.

The FCA is a UK regulator that authorises and supervises financial firms. On 12 November 2026, the FCA register listed 1 investment activity for FXOpen Ltd: arranging safeguarding and administration of assets. Arranging safeguarding means arranging for another firm to hold client investments safely. The safeguarding activity covers retail and professional clients. The safeguarding activity covers contracts for difference (CFDs), which pay out the change in an asset's price. The safeguarding activity also covers rolling spot forex contracts, which are currency trades kept open from day to day.

An FCA register entry does not show whether a firm can pay its debts or how a firm treats clients. The authorisation covers FXOpen Ltd only, not every FXOpen company or website. The FCA record names www.fxopen.co.uk as the website of FXOpen Ltd, not fxopen.com.

Since 22 October 2026, the FCA record has shown the sub status "Applied to Cancel". The FCA says that a firm that has applied to cancel must still meet FCA standards in dealing with customers. The FCA record lists no permission to deal in investments. The FCA record prints no end date for the authorisation. The FCA also names 6 clone firms, which are unauthorised firms that use the details of FXOpen Ltd.

To confirm the FCA authorisation of FXOpen Ltd, search for reference number 579202 at register.fca.org.uk. Check that the FCA record shows FXOpen Ltd and Companies House number 07273392. The register status of FXOpen Ltd will change if the FCA cancels the authorisation or adds a restriction.
