UK Broker Research: Check the Firm and Account Terms
This guide explains what to verify before comparing accounts. TraderStat has not established a country-specific winner or independently audited these brokers. Directory inclusion does not certify a firm or establish eligibility in your country.
Start with the legal entity
Use the FCA Firm Checker to look up the firm and the services it has permission to provide. Match its contact details to the business you are dealing with.
Official source: FCA Firm Checker — Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Compare the account you can actually open
- Record the contracting company, country of residence and account type. Terms for another company in the same group may differ.
- Check permitted products and the current account agreement on the provider’s official website.
- Compare spreads, commissions, overnight financing, conversion and withdrawal charges for the same instrument and trading size.
- Save the source link and observation date. Treat missing or outdated terms as unknown.
