United Arab EmiratesEach broker listed here is regulated by the Securities and Commodities Authority (CMA), the Tier 2 financial regulator of the United Arab Emirates. CMA oversight includes a retail leverage cap of 1:50 on forex and CFDs, and authorised firms must meet local compliance standards set by UAE authorities. The CMA does not publicly offer a listed investor compensation scheme, and client fund protection is enforced through regulatory supervision. The UAE's regulatory framework for stocks and derivatives is considered strict for the region, making it relevant for traders seeking a balance between access and oversight.

Visit the official CMA 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 CMA in United Arab Emirates. 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.
