Bossa licence record
Is Bossa regulated by the KNF?
Yes, according to our records. Bossa is matched to a licence from the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (Poland). Confirm it on the register before relying on it.
What the KNF licence means
Based on our licence database, Bossa holds a licence from the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), the financial regulator for Poland. We classify the KNF 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 Bossa clients whose account is held by its KNF-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — Investor compensation up to the PLN equivalent of €22,000; 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 Financial Ombudsman (Rzecznik Finansowy).
