MFSA: frequently asked questions

What protection does a MFSA licence give clients?
Investor Compensation Scheme cover for eligible clients of licensed investment firms, up to €20,000 per person. ESMA-aligned retail rules cap CFD leverage and require negative balance protection. These are general facts about the regime; what applies to you depends on the licensed entity and your client category.
How many brokers list MFSA in your register?
8 of the brokers in our register list Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). Records are refreshed as new regulator information is checked, and a listing here is a pointer, not proof of a current licence.
How do I check a MFSA licence?
Open the MFSA website and search for the firm's name or licence number. 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.
