Hello,
I’ve been documenting about your regulations and for European citizens I understand that we are covered by the ICF Bulgaria that covers up to 90%(with a max of 20k €). This “up to 90%” it’s guaranteed or in the unlikely case of a default can be less than 90%?
Do you consider having insurance in another country? I’ll feel safer depositing more amount of money on your platform if you cover 100% of the first 20k like Degiro.
All our new clients are onboarded to our FCA-regulated UK entity, where client funds are insured up to ÂŁ85,000.
Is there somewhere this is explained in more details ? I’m from France and signed up about a week ago, and I’ve also been looking for more info Who should we (europeans as for UK residents it seems more clear) contact if there was one day cause for either an insurance claim or to file a complaint ? I can’t find enough “reassuring information” for my taste, as much as I would love to find some because the platform, the team and the community seem amazing !
Oh, and for the registration in Bulgaria I haven’t been able to find where they officially state they are supervising you I’ve looked on the Bulgarian National Bank website https://www.bnb.bg in the register (an excel sheet) where they list some companies, but couldn’t find you ( 201659500 ) . And looking around with google didn’t bring up good results. Although, my recent post shows I just might not be good at looking for the right result There was this Commercial register and register of NPLE - ЕПЗЕУ register, but I didn’t take the time to dig through it as it seems very parsimonious in the amount of results it gives at a time !
This post was also unsure about the UK vs Europe distinction.
We are headquartered in the UK. All our clients are onboarded in our FCA-regulated entity. We don’t have any operational entities outside the UK and the EU. Balances of cash and equity, capital adequacy and transactions are reported to the regulator on a daily basis.
