What this means
Across a hundred brokers, the licence is what separates the field fastest.
T4Trade's licence is offshore (FSA). Offshore entities typically offer higher leverage and lighter reporting, and compensation schemes do not apply - the trade-off is protection, not price.
An FSA licence here is usually the Seychelles authorisation - an offshore entity, with lighter obligations than a tier-one regulator.
Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at International, well-reputed banks. 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 No statutory investor compensation scheme, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
