Best brokers available in United Kingdom

UK residents can use a substantial range of FCA-authorised brokers, but the product and protection regime depends on the exact UK legal entity. Retail CFDs, financial spread bets and rolling-spot forex remain subject to FCA leverage, margin-closeout and negative-balance-protection rules. Crypto derivatives referencing unregulated transferable cryptoassets remain prohibited for UK retail consumers, while direct crypto services can be available through appropriately registered providers.
