What this means
Across a hundred brokers, the licence is what separates the field fastest.
FXORO holds a tier-one authorisation from CySEC. That matters more than any headline spread: it determines your leverage cap, whether losses can exceed your deposit, and what happens to your money if the firm fails.
CySEC licences passport across the EU and follow the 1:30 retail leverage cap, with the Investor Compensation Fund covering eligible claims.
Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at Third-party regulated banking institutions. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.
Negative balance protection applies, so a losing position cannot take the account below zero and leave you owing the broker money.
Covered by Investor Compensation Fund, up to €20,000 for eligible clients, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
