CySEC Investor Compensation Fund explained
It pays out only in defined circumstances, such as when a licensed firm is unable to return client assets, and it does not compensate for trading losses. Coverage depends on the entity that holds your account.
Confirm the licence number on CySEC's own register and read your client agreement to see which entity you are contracting with.
