CySEC Regulated Brokers: All 137 on Record

137 brokers in the WIKILIX database hold a licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission and carry our clean regulation status label. Every one of them is listed below, ordered by WIKILIX score. This is the full set, not a shortlist of ten picked for a comparison table.

The range inside it is wide. Scores run from 32 to 82.4 against a median of 51.8, so the middle of this list sits well below its top. Trading.com Markets UK Limited leads on 82.4, and Hoxton Capital Management follows on 80.

What the 137 look like

• 61 are domiciled in Cyprus. The other 76 hold a Cyprus licence from a registered address somewhere else, among them Interactive Brokers Hong Kong Limited, which opened in February 1996.
• 89 hold licences from two or more authorities. 48 hold CySEC and nothing else.
• 40 also hold a licence from the UK Financial Conduct Authority in our records, among them eToro, FOREX.com and Skilling.
• 49 have operated for 15 years or more, and 34 opened before 2010.
• The oldest recorded opening date on the list belongs to J.P. Morgan, 1799. Seven brokers have no opening date recorded at all.
• Maximum leverage runs from 1:1 to 1:3000, and 10 brokers carry no leverage figure.

How we built this list

Two stored filters produce this page. The first is the licence: the broker must have a CySEC entry recorded against it in our licence table. The second is brokerStatus, the status label WIKILIX records for each firm, set to regulation. 216 brokers in the database hold a CySEC entry. 47 of those carry a suspicious-clone label and 32 more carry one of our other status labels, and none of that group appears here.

The order is the WIKILIX score, highest first. That score is built from the licences recorded against a broker, its operating history and the trading conditions published for it. It measures none of the things a comparison table usually promises, and nobody at WIKILIX ordered these 137 firms by hand.

What a CySEC licence covers

CySEC authorises Cyprus Investment Firms under the EU MiFID II framework, which sets capital requirements and client money segregation rules. An authorised firm falls under the Investor Compensation Fund, which pays eligible retail clients up to 20,000 euros if the firm fails and cannot return their money. That covers failure of the firm. It does not cover trading losses.

Retail leverage on major currency pairs is capped at 1:30 for clients of a Cyprus entity. 40 of the 127 brokers here with a recorded figure sit at 1:30 or below. The higher numbers in that column need reading carefully: we store one leverage figure per broker rather than one per licensed entity, so a headline of 1:3000 belongs to some company in that group and tells you nothing about what a Cyprus account would offer.

Before you open an account

• Search the firm on the CySEC register and read the licence number from there rather than from the broker's own homepage.
• Check which legal entity signs your client agreement. Several groups here run more than one company: Notesco Int Limited trades as IronFX and Notesco Financial Services Limited as FXlift.
• Confirm the entity holding your money is the Cyprus one, if EU protection is the reason you chose the broker.
• Ask whether the Investor Compensation Fund covers that entity before you deposit.

What this list does not tell you

This page carries no spreads, no commissions, no minimum deposits and no execution quality, because we hold none of that data. It also does not tell you whether any of these firms accepts clients from your country, which is a matter of each broker's own terms rather than of its licence. It reflects the licences recorded in the WIKILIX database today. Confirm any of them on the CySEC register before you deposit.
