Non ESMA Brokers List

Are you wondering which broker to choose after the changes introduced by ESMA?  Which brokers not affected by ESMA regulations accept EU clients?

First of all, make sure you know the exact scope of changes introduced by ESMA. Remember that these changes have been made in your interest and are meant to protect your capital. Choosing a broker from outside of the European Union will make you deliberately give up some of your security. One of them is protection against the negative balance, which is required by ESMA. Brokers outside the EU do not always offer such protection, especially if they operate in the ECN model.

For the above reasons, it is worth considering whether you prefer to use a higher leverage bearing more risk or use limited leverage and stronger investor protection.

Below is a list of a Forex/CFD brokers regulated outside the EU. They are mainly brokers from Australia and Switzerland.
