Brokers by Country of Licence

Each country below issued at least one licence held by a broker in our published records. The figures count broker records, not licences: a firm holding four registrations in one country counts once there.

A country here is the country that ISSUED the licence. It does not say the broker accepts clients who live there, nor that the firm is available there — that is a fact our records do not carry.

Trading CFDs carries a high risk of losing money. Nothing on this page is advice to open an account with any firm.
