NetherlandsEach broker on this page is authorised by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), the Tier 1 financial regulator for the Netherlands and a key supervisory body within the European Union. AFM-regulated brokers must enforce a maximum leverage cap of 30:1 for retail clients and adhere to strict requirements for client fund segregation and conduct. Firms licensed by the AFM comply with MiFID II rules, which allow them to passport investment services across the European Economic Area.
