Which legal entity holds your money, and which regulator's register names it, decides what happens when something goes wrong. The brokers below each hold at least one registration we have confirmed against the regulator's own public register, with the date of that check beside it. Where our records carry the register entry itself, that label is a link, so you can repeat the check.
Who is on this page: Every broker record with at least one registration the regulator's own register shows as authorised, confirmed on the date given.
Ordered by how much of the broker's own published terms we have checked, then alphabetically — this is not a quality ranking.
192 of the 198 broker records we hold qualify for this page.

Choose the broker first. A platform is only useful if the broker behind it is regulated, transparent, and available in your country. Once you have narrowed the field to brokers you would trust with a deposit, compare the platforms they offer.
Less than the all-in cost. A broker advertising a 0.0 pip raw spread while charging a high round-turn commission can be more expensive than a 0.8 pip all-inclusive account. Compare spread plus commission plus overnight swap on the instruments you actually trade.
Judging it on the sign-up experience. Deposits are designed to be frictionless everywhere. The parts that matter — withdrawal timelines, execution during news, and which legal entity holds your money — only become visible later. Two of those you can check before depositing: the legal entity named on the client agreement, and whether its licence is current on the regulator's register.
The first 5 of the 41 brokers above whose own published terms we hold, in the order of the list — the table stops at 5. The terms we hold for the other 36 are on their cards above. A cell reading not checked means nobody has read that figure off the broker's pages yet — it is not a finding that the broker lacks it.

Each summary below is generated from the records on this page and nothing else.
Two dated sources sit behind this page: our research records of each broker's registrations, and the pages the broker publishes itself. How much of that was confirmed on a regulator's own public register is counted in the paragraph below, from the registrations this page actually prints — the label beside each one says which it is. The same paragraph counts the figures: how many this page prints beyond those registrations, and how many carry a link to the broker's own page with the day somebody read it. Nothing on this page is measured: no account was funded, no spread was timed and no withdrawal was made, so you will not find an execution or withdrawal figure here.
Our research hub holds 198 broker records for this site. Of the 231 registrations listed above, 208 were read on the regulator's own public register on the date shown. Of the rest, 23 are on record and not yet confirmed on a register — the label beside each one says which. Each one links to the register entry. The 30 figures on this page beyond those registrations were transcribed from a page the broker publishes them on, and each one links to that page with the date somebody read it. Where a date is old, treat the figure as old — brokers change pricing and licences without telling us.
There is no single best broker, only the best broker for a given trader in a given country. Start from the regulatory entity that will hold your account, then optimise for cost.
