Safety summary
Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at Major regulated banks. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.
Negative balance protection applies, so a losing position cannot take the account below zero and leave you owing the broker money.
Covered by FSCS up to £85,000 for eligible UK clients; ICF up to €20,000 for eligible CySEC clients, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
Regulatory coverage
ThinkMarkets is connected with 9 recorded licences: ASIC (tier one), FCA (tier one), CySEC (tier one), DFSA (DIFC) (tier one), FMA (New Zealand) (tier one), FSCA (South Africa) (tier two), FSC (Mauritius) (tier two), FSA (Seychelles) (tier three) and CIMA (Cayman Islands) (tier three).
Client protections
Protections may include segregated client money, negative balance protection and a compensation scheme (FSCS up to £85,000 for eligible UK clients; ICF up to €20,000 for eligible CySEC clients). They apply only where the account and client are eligible under the relevant entity and jurisdiction.
