Why Cyprus matters for brokers
Cyprus is the EU's best-known base for forex and CFD brokers. A CySEC licence is a full MiFID II authorisation that can be passported across the European Economic Area, and Limassol has a mature ecosystem of compliance specialists, auditors, payment firms and experienced staff.
Running a CySEC-regulated firm means meeting EU rules on leverage, client categorisation, best execution, reporting and record keeping. Technology that produces clean data and audit trails makes those obligations far easier.

How brokers operate in Cyprus
Investment firms in Cyprus are authorised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under the EU's MiFID II framework, which allows passporting across the European Economic Area. EU retail clients are protected by ESMA product-intervention measures such as leverage limits, negative balance protection and standardised risk warnings. Our technology can be configured to support these requirements.
