How to Verify CMA Regulation
Before depositing funds with any broker, verify their regulatory status directly on the CMA official register. Do not rely solely on licence numbers displayed on a broker's website - always cross-check the number against the public register. The official website is listed in the key facts above. Be wary of clone firms that use the names and registration numbers of legitimate brokers to deceive traders.
