Danish Financial Supervisory Authority

Finanstilsynet supervises banks and investment firms in Denmark. A Danish bank can serve clients in other EEA states under EU passporting.

What it means for a retail trader

EU-wide retail CFD rules apply. Where the broker is itself a Danish bank, eligible cash deposits fall under the Danish guarantee scheme, up to the equivalent of €100,000.

How to check a firm

Search the firm’s legal name or licence number on the official register linked above. Confirm that the name, the number and the website on the register match the firm you are dealing with, and that its permissions cover the product you want to trade. Clone firms often borrow a real firm’s name and number but use a different web address.
