The Financial Services Control provides additional protection for traders through the Compensation reserve

The Financial Services Control

was established as an independent third-party body to ensure fair and impartial handling of complaints, offering a more accessible and efficient alternative to traditional industry regulators and the judicial system.
In addition, The Financial Services Control provides traders with added protection through its Compensation Reserve.

Compensation reserve

  • Understanding
    the Process

    The Compensation Reserve functions as a form of financial protection for clients of The Financial Services Control’s Partner Brokers. The Reserve is held in a segregated bank account and is used only when a Partner Broker fails to comply with a decision issued by The Financial Services Control.

  • How Is the Reserve Financed?

    Each Partner Broker contributes a deposit of €10,000,000, which serves as a financial guarantee. This allows for compensation of up to €100,000 per client, provided the claim has been upheld by The Financial Services Control.

  • Who
    is eligible for payments?

    The Compensation Reserve is available only when a complaint has been officially approved by The Financial Services Control. If a violation is confirmed, the client becomes eligible for reimbursement.

  • When
    Will Compensation
    Be Paid?

    Compensation is issued within 90 days after a Partner's status is formally changed due to non-compliance. During this period, The Financial Services Control will attempt to recover the funds directly from the Partner and verify the claimant’s identity.

  • What Is the Maximum Coverage?

    The Fund provides coverage for approved claims up to €100,000 per client of a Partner Broker.

  • What If the Fund
    Is Insufficient?

    In cases of a large volume of unresolved claims due to a Partner’s misconduct, the available balance of the Compensation Reserve will be equitably distributed among all approved claimants.

    Disputes related to digital currency trading are not covered by the Compensation Reserve, as stated in the official Rules of The Financial Services Control.
