Trading 212
5 legal entities are on file for this firm, across 5 jurisdictions. The strongest supervision on file is Tier 1.
Warning means: A named regulator has published a notice or alert-list entry about this firm. The register reproduces that authority's own statement with its publication date and a link to the document, and takes no position beyond it.
Holds a tier-1 licence (FCA, ASIC, BaFin) alongside 2 other live entities. Which one your account sits under determines the protection you get.
A group can hold a tier-1 licence and still onboard you through an offshore entity in the same structure. The licence protects clients of the entity that holds it — not every client of the brand. Check which company name appears on your own client agreement, then look that company up in the table below.
