AAAFx licence record
Is AAAFx regulated by the HCMC?
Yes, according to our records. AAAFx is matched to a licence from the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (Greece). Confirm it on the register before relying on it.
What the HCMC licence means
According to our records, AAAFx holds a licence from the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC), the financial regulator for Greece. We classify the HCMC as tier 2 — strong regulation. Credible regulators with real rulebooks, but fewer safeguards than tier 1 (e.g. no compensation scheme or looser leverage rules).
For AAAFx clients whose account is held by its HCMC-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — Investment Services Guarantee Fund (Synegiko) — up to €30,000; retail leverage — 30:1 on major FX pairs (ESMA rules); negative balance protection — mandatory for retail clients; client money — MiFID II client asset rules. Disputes can be taken to Hellenic Financial Ombudsman.
AAAFx is also matched to licences from FSCA.
