Regulatory
Authorised by the FCA (Trading 212 UK Ltd, FRN 609146), BaFin (Trading 212 EU GmbH, licence 10109603), CySEC (Trading 212 Markets Ltd, licence 398/21) and ASIC (Trading 212 AU Pty Ltd, AFSL 541122). Most EU clients contract with the Cyprus entity and are therefore covered by the Cyprus ICF, not the FSCS; third-party claims of £120,000 FSCS cover and roughly £1m private insurance were not confirmed on vendor legal pages and no compensation figure should be published on this evidence. A 2021 GameStop trading restriction and a January 2026 crypto ETN permissions episode are on record with no reported client fund losses.
