What the CIMA licence means

Our records show that, EBC Financial Group holds a licence from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), the financial regulator for Cayman Islands. We classify the CIMA as tier 3 — moderate regulation. Established offshore or emerging-market regulators with capital and reporting requirements but limited retail protection.

For EBC Financial Group clients whose account is held by its CIMA-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — No compensation scheme; retail leverage — No statutory cap; negative balance protection — not a regulatory requirement (may be offered contractually); client money — Securities Investment Business Law requirements. Disputes can be taken to CIMA.

EBC Financial Group is also matched to licences from ASIC and FCA. ASIC and FCA are rated higher than the CIMA in our methodology, so if you are eligible for those entities you may get stronger protection.
