What the tiers mean

Tier 1 covers major regulators with strict capital, segregation and conduct rules (for example FCA, ASIC, CFTC/NFA, BaFin, FINMA). Tier 2 covers established regulators with solid frameworks (for example CySEC, FSCA, DFSA). Tier 3 covers offshore or registration-only regimes with lighter oversight. The tiering is our editorial classification; it is not a statement by any regulator.

Before depositing, check the licence number on the regulator's public register and confirm which ATC broker entity will hold your account — protections such as negative balance protection and compensation schemes depend on the entity, not the brand.
