The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. Retail CFD leverage is capped at 30:1 on major currency pairs and 20:1 on non-majors, client money must be segregated, and negative balance protection is mandatory. Eligible investment claims are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000 per person per firm. Check any firm on the FCA Register before depositing, and confirm the entity name matches the one taking your money.
