Register says
Genuine FCA-recorded firm for the UK operation (carnegie.co.uk); cross-border registration

Finding

UK registration of the Swedish bank for its London operations at carnegie.co.uk. As a Swedish-regulated firm operating cross-border, its primary supervision remains with Finansinspektionen, and UK compensation and ombudsman cover do not apply. Client protection: Cross-border registration only. Primary protection is Swedish (Finansinspektionen and Riksgalden), not the UK FSCS or Financial Ombudsman..

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

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

Most Popular Questions

The main site's link for its UK operation redirects to a carnegie.co.uk address that does not currently resolve; both a plain request and a full browser were tried. The firm's UK establishment remains registered and active at Companies House, so this appears to be an unmaintained domain rather than a closed operation, but the broken link is worth noting for anyone approaching through the UK page.

By telephone on +46 8 588 688 00, by email to the private banking desk at privatbank@carnegie.se, through the contact form at carnegie.se/en/contact-2/, or in person at one of the four Swedish offices. There is no live chat and no published response-time commitment.

The site states operations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States. It publishes no restricted-country list, and no onboarding country selector exists to read, so no jurisdiction has been recorded as either accepted or refused. Absence of a published restriction is not acceptance.

Its head office is Regeringsgatan 56, SE-103 38 Stockholm. The contact page also lists offices in Gothenburg (Sankt Eriksgatan 6), Malmo (Stortorget 9) and Linkoping (Tanneforsgatan 3). Its UK establishment is registered at Finwell House, 26 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 1DS.

Nothing found in this review supports that. The legal entity is named openly, is confirmed active on an authoritative corporate record with a matching company number and address, and has a UK establishment on the register since 1995. The accurate finding is that it is not a retail forex or CFD broker, so it should not be judged by that yardstick at all.

No spread, commission or fee schedule is published. Pricing is evidently agreed per mandate. The absence of published pricing makes the offering impossible to compare against a retail broker's cost table, and a prospective client should request the schedule in writing.

The site publishes no deposit or withdrawal methods, fees, limits or processing times. This is not a retail funding model, so no timeframe can be stated.

There is no online self-service registration. The site directs prospective clients to a contact and expression-of-interest form, after which the relationship is established through the firm directly.

No retail trading terminal such as MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or cTrader is advertised on the site. What is offered to existing clients is a private banking portal and a research platform, both behind a login.

No leverage figures are published anywhere on the site, because no leveraged retail trading product is offered. Any figure quoted for this brand elsewhere is not supported by the firm's own disclosures.

None is published. The website states no minimum deposit, no account tiers and no funding terms, which is consistent with a relationship-based institutional and private banking model rather than a self-service retail account.

The operating entity is DNB Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ), Swedish company number 516406-0138, registered in Stockholm. The GLEIF record for LEI 529900BR5NZNQZEVQ417 confirms the entity as active under that number, with Carnegie Investment Bank AB as its previous legal name. The website announced in March 2025 that the group's acquisition by DNB Bank ASA had completed.

No forex or CFD trading licence could be confirmed for this firm in this review, and its website does not publish a supervision statement or a register verification link on the pages read. That is not the same as a firm claiming a licence it does not hold: it makes no retail trading licence claim at all. Its UK presence is on the Companies House register as an overseas company recorded as a credit or financial institution, and its terms reference the Swedish state deposit guarantee and the Investor Protection Act, but neither of those is a forex licence. Anyone considering its services should ask the firm directly for its permissions.

No. Carnegie is the brand of DNB Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ), a Swedish investment bank. Its published business lines are investment banking, institutional securities research, brokerage and sales trading, equity capital market transactions, fixed income, and private banking. No retail foreign exchange or CFD product appears anywhere on its website.
