In 2026, only 12 brokers hold FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), and CySEC (Cyprus) licenses simultaneously — the gold standard of multi-jurisdiction regulation for retail forex and CFD traders. Maintaining three tier-1 licenses requires substantial capital reserves, ongoing audits across three regulatory frameworks, and the highest standards of operational transparency.

This triple-license combination provides maximum protection for clients worldwide: FSCS up to £85,000 (FCA), ICF up to €20,000 (CySEC), and ASIC's strict client fund segregation rules. These 12 brokers are among the most heavily scrutinised in the industry.

Our research confirms a direct link between regulatory breadth and broker quality: brokers with 3+ tier-1 licenses score an average of 4.1/5 — the highest of any regulatory group we track — versus 3.3/5 for the overall market. If you prioritise safety above all else, this list is where to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

2

How often are rankings updated?
