Admirals licence record
Is Admirals regulated by the JSC?
Yes, according to our records. Admirals is matched to a licence from the Jordan Securities Commission (Jordan). Confirm it on the register before relying on it.
What the JSC licence means
According to our records, Admirals holds a licence from the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC), the financial regulator for Jordan. We classify the JSC as tier 3 — moderate regulation. Established offshore or emerging-market regulators with capital and reporting requirements but limited retail protection.
For Admirals clients whose account is held by its JSC-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — No compensation scheme; retail leverage — Set by JSC rules; negative balance protection — not a regulatory requirement (may be offered contractually); client money — Client funds segregation required. Disputes can be taken to JSC.
Admirals is also matched to licences from ASIC, FCA, CySEC, EFSA, FSCA, CMA (Kenya) and FSA (Seychelles). ASIC, FCA, CySEC, EFSA and FSCA are rated higher than the JSC in our methodology, so if you are eligible for those entities you may get stronger protection.
