The Tier-1 financial regulator FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), is currently the gold standard for financial regulators. FCA regulated forex brokers have to adhere to, and follow, strict guidelines to keep their membership and to avoid pecuniary measures.
The FCA is the watchdog of the United Kingdom’s financial market, but operates independently from the UK Government. The FCA is financed by the registration fees charged to the supervised members, operating in the UK’s financial services industry.
- Clients of FCA regulated brokers are covered by a £85,000 regulatory deposit insurance.
- Client funds must be kept in segregated accounts, with top-tier banks, ensuring that those funds cannot be used by the broker.
- Regulated brokers have the duty to implement Negative Balance Protection, to protect traders from losses bigger than their original investments.
- The maximum leverage ratio for retail investors is 30:1. Traders classified as professionals can apply for higher leverage ratios.
In December 2012 the Financial Services Act 2012 was approved and the FCA, formerly FSA (Financial Services Authority) became into force in April 2013.
The FCA works alongside two other entities, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Policy Committee. The goal is to set the regulatory requirements for the UK’s financial sector. The FCA also works in straight connection with the Financial Ombudsman Service, a free arbitrage service that settles complaints between consumers and businesses providing financial services.

Conclusion
The FCA can be compared to a kind of shield through which the investor is able to protect himself from suspicious behaviour or disputes related to forex brokers.
Forex brokers registered, or operating, in the UK, consider the FCA licencing to be of paramount importance. In fact, its authoritative accreditation is synonymous with safety and greater professionalism, providing traders with the opportunity to make their investments and trade in a safe and transparent environment.
Obtaining an FCA licence, or regulation, means taking the protection of traders seriously and ensuring that they are always treated fairly in accordance with the guidelines issued by the FCA, together with the authorisation to trade officially.
Financial firms registered with the UK’s FCA are also members of the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme), an independent compensation fund of last resort for customers of authorised UK financial services firms, covering eligible clients claims up to £85,000.
Thus, it is essential that traders make sure to operate through FCA regulated forex brokers in order to take advantage of the highest standards of safety, where the risks of running into fraud or improper broker behaviour, are nearly non-existent.
Finally, in order to verify if a forex broker possesses the FCA license, it is necessary to visit the Financial Services Register official site and check the company by name or reference number.
