Frequently asked questions
Is forex trading regulated in Latvia?
Bank of Latvia is the authority on record for Latvia.
Does a foreign licence protect a trader in Latvia?
Only when the account is legally contracted with the licensed entity and the licence permits the relevant service. A broker brand may operate several entities, and the protections follow the entity that signs the account agreement, not the brand.
