The brokers below hold a registration in the United Kingdom according to our research records. They are grouped by what has actually been confirmed: a registration checked against the public register of the FCA on a stated day comes first, then registrations recorded but not yet checked, then registrations carrying a register status this site does not interpret, then any the register shows as no longer current.
Who is on this page: Every broker record holding a registration in the United Kingdom (GB), whether or not it has been checked against the register yet.
Ordered by how much of the broker's own published terms we have checked, then alphabetically — this is not a quality ranking.
43 of the 198 broker records we hold qualify for this page.
Each broker below holds at least one registration in this jurisdiction that was read off the regulator's own public register on the date shown. A card's chips are the registrations we hold for that broker, wherever they are held and whatever the register says of them, so a chip on this card may be neither in this jurisdiction nor current — the label on it says which.

We hold these registrations as delivered to us, with no status on them beyond the fact of the registration, and nobody has yet confirmed them on the regulator's register. Treat them as unconfirmed, not as doubtful.
The register records these registrations as revoked or lapsed. They are listed because their absence would be the bigger omission — none of them is a licence the broker currently holds.
Legal entity on record: Raymond James & Associates, Inc.
Legal entity on record: Renta 4 Banco S.A.
Client money must be held in segregated accounts, and eligible clients are covered by the FSCS up to £85,000 if the broker fails. It does not protect you from trading losses — only from the broker's own insolvency or misuse of funds.
Retail accounts are capped at 30:1 on major pairs, with lower caps on minors, gold, indices and crypto. Higher leverage is only available if you qualify as an elective professional client, which means giving up FSCS cover and negative balance protection.
For FCA retail accounts, yes — you cannot lose more than your account balance. This became mandatory after several traders were left owing money following the 2015 Swiss franc move.
Always. Clone firms copy an authorised broker's registration number and branding. Search the firm on the FCA register and contact it using the phone number listed there, not the one on the website that approached you.
The first 5 of the 22 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 17 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. Where our records carry the register entry itself, the label is a link, so you can repeat the check. FSCS eligibility and the 30:1 retail cap come from the FCA's rules (COBS 22.5A, PS19/18), not from the broker. We have not funded a UK account, so no cost, execution or withdrawal figure on this page is a measurement — only what the broker publishes.
Our research hub holds 198 broker records for this site. Of the 71 registrations listed above, 53 were read on the regulator's own public register on the date shown. Of the rest, 13 are on record and not yet confirmed on a register and 5 are recorded as revoked or lapsed — the label beside each one says which. Each one links to the register entry. The 54 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.
The FCA regime narrows the gap between brokers, so pricing and platform quality decide it. Be sceptical of any UK-facing offer promising leverage above 30:1 on a retail account.
