What the SPK / CMB licence means
Based on our licence database, Galata Yatırım holds a licence from the Capital Markets Board of Türkiye (Sermaye Piyasası Kurulu) (SPK / CMB), the financial regulator for Türkiye. We classify the SPK / CMB 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 Galata Yatırım clients whose account is held by its SPK / CMB-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — Investor Compensation Center (YTM) covers qualifying cash and securities; retail leverage — 10:1 maximum for retail leveraged transactions; negative balance protection — not a regulatory requirement (may be offered contractually); client money — Client assets held at Takasbank / central custody. Disputes can be taken to SPK complaints.
