AvaTrade Markets LTD is a financial services company with 9 global regulations across 6 continents, including two; one in the British Virgin Islands, where AvaTrade is fully licensed and regulated by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commissions (BVIFSC), and one in the EU (ESMA).

In our quest to provide the best overall trading experience on the market, while complying with strict regulatory standards, all EU citizens, who are currently trading with AvaTrade Markets LTD under BVIFSC, can move to trade with and be regulated by AvaTrade EU Ltd while trading under MiFID and ESMA rules and regulations.

This move will enhance the client's investor protections and allow traders to join an investor compensation scheme.

Furthermore, we would like to assure our traders, that their funds and rights as valued clients of AvaTrade will NOT change in anyway, as part of our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of data and information protection.

If you have any questions about this or anything else, our support team will be happy to assist you.
