CySEC is classified as a Tier 2 regulator. Regulated jurisdiction with established oversight, though with fewer investor protections than Tier 1.
We currently list 24 stock brokers regulated by CySEC. The full list is shown above, sorted by overall trader rating.
CySEC is based in Cyprus and covers the European Union jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it provides meaningful oversight, though investors should also verify whether a broker holds an additional Tier 1 licence for added protection.
Visit the official CySEC 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 CySEC in Cyprus. 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.
