Mexem licence record
Is Mexem regulated by the CySEC?
Yes, according to our records. Mexem is matched to a licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (Cyprus). Confirm it on the register before relying on it.
What the CySEC licence means
According to our records, Mexem holds a licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the financial regulator for Cyprus. We classify the CySEC 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 Mexem clients whose account is held by its CySEC-regulated entity, the key protections are: compensation — Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) — up to €20,000; retail leverage — 30:1 on major FX pairs (ESMA rules); negative balance protection — mandatory for retail clients; client money — Client funds segregated under MiFID II. Disputes can be taken to Financial Ombudsman of Cyprus.
