Exness licence record
Is Exness regulated by the CBCS?
Yes, according to our records. Exness is matched to a licence from the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (Curaçao). Confirm it on the register before relying on it.
What the CBCS licence means
Based on our licence database, Exness holds a licence from the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS), the financial regulator for Curaçao. We classify the CBCS as tier 4 — light / offshore. Light-touch offshore licensing, registration-only jurisdictions or self-regulatory dispute bodies. Minimal practical protection.
For Exness clients whose account is held by its CBCS-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 — Licence conditions. Disputes can be taken to CBCS.
Exness is also matched to licences from FCA, CySEC, FSCA, CMA (Kenya), FSC (MU), JSC, BVI FSC and FSA (Seychelles). FCA, CySEC, FSCA, CMA (Kenya), FSC (MU) and JSC are rated higher than the CBCS in our methodology, so if you are eligible for those entities you may get stronger protection.
