The Hellenic Capital Market Commission, the HCMC, watches over brokers in Greece. A broker needs a MiFID II licence from the HCMC, or a passport from another EU regulator. Most brokers that serve Greek traders are licensed by CySEC in Cyprus. Check the HCMC and CySEC registers and the HCMC warnings page before you deposit.
The EU leverage caps apply. That means 30:1 on major pairs, 20:1 on minor pairs, gold and major indices, 10:1 on other commodities, 5:1 on shares and 2:1 on crypto, with a 50% close-out and negative balance protection. The caps have been permanent since 1 August 2019. Bonuses are banned. On 24 February 2026 ESMA said that perpetual futures fall under the same CFD rules.
If a Greek firm fails, the Guarantee Fund covers up to €30,000. For a Cyprus firm, the Investor Compensation Fund pays 90% of a claim up to €20,000. Gains on derivatives are taxed at 15% under Law 4172/2013. Greek traders fund accounts by card, SEPA transfer, PayPal or IRIS. Crypto rules follow MiCA under Law 5193/2025 of 10 April 2025.

The brokers on this page are chosen and ranked using BrokerCatalogue’s independent review framework. We look at regulation, safety of client funds, trading costs, platforms and tools, execution, and overall fit for this specific use case or region.
Some brokers may be our partners, but no broker can pay to change its score or ranking. Sponsorship can affect visibility (for example, “featured” labels), not how we rate risk or quality.
