We don't take a broker's word for its regulation. Every entry below is cross-checked against the regulator's own public register, with the licence number shown so you can verify it yourself.
FCA-regulated brokers — ranked
Ranked by our overall trust and service score among brokers holding a live FCA licence. Reference numbers link to the official Financial Services Register where available.
Large brokers often hold separate licences in multiple jurisdictions through legally distinct regulated entities — for example a UK FCA entity and a separate CySEC entity for EU clients. Each entry here reflects one specific licensed entity, not the brand as a whole.
It means we could not independently confirm a specific reference number against the regulator's public register at the time of review — not that the broker is unregulated. We're updating these entries as verification completes rather than guessing at a number.
Rank reflects our overall trust and service scoring among regulated brokers on that list, not a safety guarantee. Every broker shown holds a live licence with the stated regulator — always verify current status directly with the regulator before depositing.
