ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) has introduced stringent regulations for forex brokers that are regulated within the European Union. These rules significantly reduce the amount of leverage that retail traders can use when trading forex or CFDs with brokers regulated in EU/EEA countries. For more information and a detailed explanation of these regulations, please see this ESMA regulations article.

Below is a list of forex brokers that are not regulated within the EU’s jurisdiction and are therefore not directly subject to ESMA’s rules – which means EU residents may still be able to access higher, non-ESMA leverage and margins with them. We compiled this list using the best information available to us and believe it to be accurate. However, because regulations change frequently, it is always best practice to confirm a broker’s current ESMA-related obligations and leverage conditions directly with the broker before signing up.
