Licences on record 0
No licence on record. We haven't matched GAIN Capital to a licence from a regulator we track. This may mean our data is incomplete, the firm is licensed somewhere we don't cover, or it is unregulated. Follow our verification guide and search IOSCO I-SCAN before depositing.
Licences are matched from public sources and regulator registers, and entities change over time. A licence held by one company in a group does not cover clients of another. Always confirm on the official register.

GAIN Capital regulation FAQ
Is GAIN Capital regulated?
We have not matched GAIN Capital to a licence in our database. Verify the company named in its client agreement on an official register before depositing, and check regulator warning lists such as IOSCO I-SCAN.
Does GAIN Capital accept US clients?
GAIN Capital is not matched to a CFTC/NFA registration in our database. Only CFTC-registered, NFA-member firms may offer retail forex to US residents, so GAIN Capital generally cannot accept US retail forex clients.
Is my money protected with GAIN Capital?
None of the regulators matched to GAIN Capital in our database runs a compensation scheme for retail forex. Protection depends on client-money segregation and the broker's solvency.
How can I verify GAIN Capital's licence?
Find the company name and licence number in GAIN Capital's client agreement or website footer, then search it on the regulator's official register (linked from each licence on this page). Confirm that the website domain you use is listed on the register, and check the regulator's warning list for clones.
