Verification note

Lydya Financial Ltd holds Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission Derivatives Trading Licence (STP) No. 300/16, effective 22 April 2016, with no expiry date published. The permissions recorded against it cover financial derivatives trading, financial derivatives agency and financial derivatives investment consulting, with cross-border passporting into 16 EU member states, and the licence is held in the name of Lydya Financial Ltd under the brand Lydya Financial. On the evidence examined for this profile the licence is shown as in force, and Cyprus is an onshore EU jurisdiction whose investor compensation fund covers eligible claims up to EUR 20,000. Two limits on that finding matter. The licence was not re-checked against the Commission's own public register during this review, and the broker no longer publishes a regulation page of its own: the website recorded with the licence, www.lydyafinancial.com, no longer serves the broker and now resolves to unrelated third-party content. Anyone considering relying on this authorisation should confirm its current standing directly with the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission at cysec.gov.cy before depositing any money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

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

Most Popular Questions

Lydya Financial Ltd was incorporated in Cyprus on 22 July 2014 and licensed on 22 April 2016, so the brand has a documented formal history of about twelve years.

Verifiable activity is much shorter than that record suggests. The last annual return on file dates from September 2020 and the company's Legal Entity Identifier has been lapsed since April 2025, so there is no evidence of an operating business in recent years.

No contact route can be relied on. The only telephone number recorded for the brand is the Cyprus landline +357 25 25 22 99, and it has not been confirmed as answered.

The only email address ever published for the brand sits on a domain that has passed to an unrelated owner, so it should not be used: anything sent there goes to a third party rather than to the firm. Written contact at the registered office in Limassol is the more reliable route.

This cannot be answered, because the broker publishes no terms, no restricted-country list and no registration form. No country is documented as either accepted or refused.

Its Cyprus licence carried cross-border passporting into 16 EU member states, but a passporting entitlement describes where a firm was permitted to operate, not who it would onboard today.

Act now rather than waiting. Write to Lydya Financial Ltd at its registered office, Dimitriou Glinou 20, 3095 Limassol, Cyprus, stating the amount and quoting company number HE 334292, and keep a copy.

Then raise the matter with the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, quoting licence 300/16, and ask whether the firm is still authorised. If it is not, ask about the Investor Compensation Fund, which covers eligible claims against authorised Cypriot firms up to EUR 20,000. Keep every deposit record, statement and message, because a compensation or ombudsman claim rests on them.

There is no published deposit or withdrawal method, and no working payment page. No card, bank transfer, e-wallet or crypto channel is documented for this brand.

If you already hold a balance, do not wait for a channel to reappear: put your claim in writing to the company at its registered office and raise it with the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission.

Neither is published. No maximum leverage, spread schedule, commission rate or execution model is stated for this brand anywhere this review could reach.

Because those terms cannot be seen before depositing, the cost and risk of trading through this brand cannot be assessed at all.

None are published. No MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader or proprietary platform is recorded for this brand, and no download link or server name exists to check.

An archived client remark from 2022 already noted that the brand offered neither MetaTrader 4 nor MetaTrader 5, which is consistent with what this review found.

It is not published. No minimum deposit figure is stated for this brand in any source available for this profile.

Since there is also no working deposit channel, the question is currently academic: there is no legitimate route by which money could be paid in.

No. The address published with its licence, www.lydyafinancial.com, no longer serves the broker. It now returns an unrelated Indonesian short-drama streaming service, and a subdomain of it promotes an online casino.

There is no client portal, no login area and no signup form under the brand's control, so nothing entered at that address reaches this firm.

The operating company is Lydya Financial Ltd, a private Cypriot company registered under number HE 334292 and incorporated on 22 July 2014. The Cyprus Registrar of Companies records one director, David Masika, and a company secretary.

The same company is the named holder of licence 300/16, so the licensee, the brand and the operating entity all agree. No parent or group company is recorded for it.

Nothing found in this review shows fraud, and the licence and company behind the brand are both real. What the evidence does show is that there is no operating broker left: the web address published with the licence no longer belongs to the firm, and no platform, account or funding information is published anywhere.

The practical answer is therefore not that Lydya Financial is a scam but that there is no legitimate way to trade with it, and any invitation to deposit in its name should be treated as an impersonation attempt until proven otherwise.

Yes, on the record examined. Lydya Financial Ltd holds Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission Derivatives Trading Licence (STP) number 300/16, effective 22 April 2016, with no published expiry date and permissions covering financial derivatives trading, agency and investment consulting.

That authorisation was confirmed from certificate evidence rather than re-checked against the Commission's own public register in this review, and the firm publishes no regulation page of its own. Anyone relying on it should confirm the current status directly at cysec.gov.cy.

Licence 300/16 was issued by Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the financial authority for Cyprus.
Lydya Financial holds this CySEC licence. A licence on record means the authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement.
We located this entry on the CySEC register. Note that confirming a register ENTRY is not the same as confirming a live licence — the register’s own wording on this page is what states its current standing.
The CySEC register prints it under Lydya Financial Ltd, not Lydya Financial. Licences are often held by a subsidiary rather than the trading brand, which is why searching a register for the brand alone can return nothing.
Wikilix rates CySEC tier 2: a well-established regime with real supervision, usually with lower compensation limits than a tier-1 authority.
