As a further guarantee for customer funds, all companies are members of the Investor Compensation Fund. They can pay compensation up to EUR 20,000 if the company does not perform its obligations.

Besides, any investment company subject to the CySEC regulations is also compliant with MiFID. And therefore entitled to offer cross-border services in the EU following the MiFID regulations.
