Making sure that your broker has rock solid regulation is the first step in the broker selection process for any responsible trader and investor. So, the question arises:

Is XTB regulated?

Yes, it is regulated by several financial authorities:

• the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
• the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC)
• the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF)
• the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) of Spain
• the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA)
• the International Financial Services Commission of Belize (IFSC)

XTB operates in several countries and is supervised by the following financial authorities (country of clients - regulatory body):

• UK - Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
• Cyprus, Hungary - Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC)
• Spain - National Securities Market Commission (CNMV)
• Other EU clients - Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF)
• United Arab Emirates - Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA)
• Other countries - Financial Services Commission of Belize (FSC)

Being supervised by a top-tier regulator lends a considerable boost to the safety profile of any given broker.

These regulators apply the strictest requirements and standards that brokers overseen by them must adhere to. As the client of a broker with top-tier regulation, you will have important safeguards in place with respect to the fairness of pricing and trading conditions that your broker provides.

If your broker is regulated by multiple authorities, you should try to sign up with the entity that has top-tier regulation. This will most likely mean that you will have access to investor protection as most of these regulators operate in countries where such schemes are available.

If you're uncertain about your broker's regulatory entity, reach out to their customer support team.

The BrokerChooser team has personally tested and reviewed more than 100 brokers globally, all of which have top-tier regulation. We opened accounts with real money at each, conducted actual trades on their platforms, checked their safety, fees and customer service, among other things.
