Brokers Licensed in United Kingdom

Every broker on this page carries at least one registration whose jurisdiction is United Kingdom in our published records. For each one we print the regulator, the licence number, its standing and a link to the register, so you can check the same thing we checked.

A licence issued in United Kingdom does NOT mean the broker accepts clients from United Kingdom, and it does not mean the firm is available there. It is an authorisation fact about a company, true on the date we read the register and no later.

Which entity you would contract with, and whether it would take you on at all, depends on where you live. Our records do not carry that, so it is named below as unpublished rather than implied by this page's title.

This page rests on 43 published broker records, of which 42 carry a licence here that we read on the register ourselves.

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

Broker records we publish

Every published broker record whose licence trail names this page's subject. The records our desk has scored are ranked first, by that published score; the rest are listed under them, without a number.

This order is our published desk score, which covers the broker overall. It is NOT a ranking of licences or of countries: a licence is either on the register or it is not, and every row here links to the register so you can confirm it.

Not scored yet — listed, not ranked

Our desk has published no score for these records, so none of them holds a position. They belong on this page all the same: their licence trail names this page's subject, and it is printed below with the others.

Frequently asked questions

Does a licence issued here mean I can open an account?

No. A registration says a regulator authorised a company in that jurisdiction. Whether that company, or a sister entity, will accept you as a client depends on where you live, and our records do not publish it — which is why it is listed as unpublished above.

A broker says it is regulated here but is not on this page. Why?

This page rests on the registrations our research hub has published. A licence that has not reached our records yet puts no broker on this page, even if the firm really holds one. Read the regulator's own register too, and treat this page as a starting point rather than a complete roll.
