In 2026, 23 brokers hold both FCA (UK) and CySEC (Cyprus) licenses. This is the most common dual-regulation combination in Europe, as CySEC provides EU passporting rights across all 27 EU member states while FCA covers the UK post-Brexit.

FCA+CySEC is particularly valuable for European retail traders: CySEC membership gives access to the €20,000 Investor Compensation Fund (ICF), while FCA provides FSCS protection up to £85,000 for UK clients. Both regulators enforce strict requirements on capital adequacy, client fund segregation, and negative balance protection.

Our scoring data shows that FCA+CySEC brokers average 3.8/5 — significantly above the platform-wide average of 3.3/5 — reflecting the higher standards required to maintain dual EU/UK licensing after Brexit.
