Frequently Asked Questions

Answered from this register entry and the authority’s own record.

Most Popular Questions

Renaissance Capital's licensed company, Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited, is based in Nicosia, Cyprus, with an office address on record at Labs Tower, 3rd Floor, Foti Pitta 4, 1065 Nicosia. Further office addresses on record are in London, at Park House, 116 Park Street, W1K 6AF, and in New York, at 750 Lexington Avenue, 6th Floor, Suite 123, NY 10022.

Renaissance Capital publishes telephone contact for three offices: Nicosia on +357 22 505 800, London on +44 20 7005 7777 and New York on +1 212 824 1099. The general email address on record is info@rencap.eu. No live chat and no published support hours are recorded, so the telephone and email routes are the practical ones.

No deposit or withdrawal fee amount is published for any of the three funding routes on record. Bank transfers may still attract charges from the banks handling them, which sit outside the firm's own schedule. Because no fee table is published, confirm the full cost of both a deposit and a withdrawal with the company before funding anything.

Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited was registered in Cyprus on 24 July 1995. Its CySEC authorisation, licence number KEPEY 053/04, has been in force since 22 December 2004 according to the regulator's own register.

No trading platform is recorded for Renaissance Capital. This profile holds no platform download, web terminal or mobile trading application for the firm, which is consistent with a business its own site describes as investment banking, global markets and prime brokerage rather than a retail trading service. Anyone who needs a named platform should ask the company directly what it provides.

This profile makes no scam determination about Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited, whose CySEC authorisation is confirmed on the regulator's own register. What the record does carry is a suspected clone status against the Renaissance Capital brand, which means a site, application or approach using the name cannot be assumed to be that authorised Cyprus firm. Before engaging with anyone using this name, confirm the company, the licence number and the domain on CySEC's register.

Yes. CySEC maintains a list of approved domains and records www.rencap.com against Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited, and that site's own footer names the same company and the same licence number, KEPEY 053/04. Any other domain presenting itself as Renaissance Capital is not covered by that record, so treat it with caution until you have checked it on the register.

Renaissance Capital is the trading name of Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited, a company registered in Cyprus under number HE 72487 since 24 July 1995. CySEC's register records company registration number 72487 against the same licensed entity. This profile also records other companies connected to the group, including Renaissance Financial Holdings Limited, Renaissance Capital Limited, RenCap Securities, Inc. and Rencap Securities (Proprietary) Limited, whose authorisations were not assessed here.

No single account minimum is recorded for Renaissance Capital. The three funding routes on record, bank transfer, credit card and electronic wallet, each carry a minimum of 500 USD, so 500 USD is the lowest figure this profile can confirm for funding an account. No retail account tiers are recorded for the firm, so terms would be agreed with it directly.

Three funding routes are recorded for Renaissance Capital: bank transfer, credit card and electronic wallet. Each carries a minimum of 500 USD, and deposits are recorded as settling in one to three business days. No maximum deposit or withdrawal limit is published, and accounts are held in several currencies with conversion at the spot rate.

Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited, which trades as Renaissance Capital, holds a Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission authorisation under licence number KEPEY 053/04, recorded on CySEC's own register as a Cyprus Investment Firm and in force since 22 December 2004. Regulation is not the same as safety, and this record carries a suspected clone status against the Renaissance Capital brand, so a site or approach using the name cannot be assumed to be the authorised Cyprus company. Confirm the company name, the licence number and the domain on CySEC's register before sending money or identity documents.
