Regulator Record
10
Licence revoked
Cypriot operator of the EuropeFX retail CFD brand, heavily marketed across Italy, Spain, Germany and Latin America in the late 2010s. Sustained CySEC and CONSOB sanctions over high-pressure sales, marketing and conflict-of-interest issues culminated in the CySEC licence being withdrawn in 2021.
Editorial caveat: Operated retail-FX flows across multiple EU markets for years under repeated regulator scrutiny before the licence was finally pulled.

How to read the rating
Rating legend
Every entity dossier carries a Regulator Record score (0–100, higher is cleaner) plus a band that summarises the score in plain language. The score is arithmetic on public regulator actions — severity × recency-decay — not editorial opinion. Three special bands sit alongside the numeric scale to capture situations the maths alone misses:
- SevereMajor enforcement against a still-active firm, or a long-running pattern of unauthorised activity. Read the timeline before engaging.
- Never authorisedOperating or operated without verifiable authorisation in any jurisdiction we have records for.
- Licence revokedAuthorisation revoked or withdrawn. May still be visible on the internet under the original brand.
- High concernSignificant enforcement footprint — multiple actions, recent in time, or substantial in size.
- Authorised, with restrictionsHolds a current authorisation that the regulator has formally restricted — e.g. an undertaking not to solicit retail clients in a specific region.
- Mixed recordMultiple regulator findings of varying severity. Current standing requires reader judgement; check the timeline.
- Material findingsOne or more material regulator findings on record, but the firm remains authorised and the matters appear historical.
- Clean recordNo material public regulator actions on file. Apparently in good standing.
