The Central Bank of Ireland licenses and supervises investment firms operating in Ireland under EU MiFID II. CBI-authorised brokers benefit from full EU passport rights and investor compensation under the Investor Compensation Company DAC (ICCL) up to EUR 20,000. Dublin's post-Brexit status as a key EU financial hub has made the CBI an increasingly sought-after licence for international brokers.

CBI is based in Ireland and covers the European Union jurisdiction. As a Tier 1 regulator, it enforces strict capital adequacy, client fund segregation, and compensation schemes, making it one of the safest options for retail investors.
Visit the official CBI website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the broker's registered name or licence number to confirm its status. This is the most reliable way to check a broker's regulatory standing.
Compensation availability depends on the specific rules of CBI in Ireland. Tier 1 regulators typically operate investor compensation schemes covering a portion of client funds. Check the regulator's official guidance for current limits and eligibility criteria.
