Countries

Every broker shown on an EU country page holds a CySEC licence, which carries the right to passport into any EU/EEA member state under MiFID II -- but passporting is a per-country notification process, not automatic blanket access, and which products or account types are actually offered can vary by entity and by country. Four non-EU pages -- Australia, South Africa, the UAE, and Singapore -- use a different, more direct test: a broker only appears there if its own disclosed regulatory footprint confirms a licence from that country's own regulator (ASIC, FSCA, DFSA, or MAS respectively), not an EU passporting inference. We also review brokers licensed elsewhere, such as the Seychelles FSA, but those aren't ranked on any country page here. Pick a country for its top-ranked brokers plus what's actually different there -- regulator, investor compensation, leverage rules, tax treatment, local payment methods, and any broker genuinely headquartered locally.
