Broker availability in United Kingdom

Best brokers available in United Kingdom

United Kingdom residents can use FCA-authorised brokers and investment platforms, but product availability depends on the exact legal entity and client classification. Retail CFDs, rolling-spot forex and financial spread bets remain permitted only under FCA product-intervention protections, while crypto-derivatives and crypto ETNs referencing unregulated transferable cryptoassets are prohibited for UK retail consumers.
