Luxembourg's investor compensation scheme (SIIL) covers eligible claims up to €20,000 per client. ESMA-aligned retail rules cap CFD leverage (30:1 on major currency pairs) and require negative balance protection.

How many brokers hold a CSSF licence in your register?

3 of the brokers in our register have an active Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) licence verified on the register in our latest research. Licences change, so check the register yourself before you deposit.

How do I check a CSSF licence?

Open the CSSF entity search and search for the entity's name. Confirm the licensed legal entity matches the company in your account terms and that its status is current.

Does a licence mean a broker is safe?

No. A licence shows a regulator authorised a specific legal entity for specific activities. It does not guarantee the firm will not fail or treat clients fairly. Check the entity you actually contract with, and that its status is current.

We take no affiliate commissions from brokers, prop firms or educators, and rated entities cannot be our affiliates. Verdicts are computed from regulator records and are not for sale. verify.trading provides records and analysis, not investment advice; trading involves significant risk of loss. Absence of a regulatory action is not an endorsement, and absence from a regulator's list is not proof of authorisation.
