Regulatory profile
OneRoyal is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2006 and headquartered in Australia.
In our database OneRoyal is matched to 3 licences from ASIC, CySEC and VFSC. At the top of that list, the ASIC (Australia) is among the regulators we classify as tier 1 — regulators that combine high capital requirements with meaningful retail protections.
Like many international brands, OneRoyal combines onshore and offshore entities. Clients in the UK, EU or other markets where it holds a strong licence are usually onboarded there, while clients elsewhere may be placed with its VFSC-licensed company. The protections differ substantially, so check which company is named in your client agreement.
Depending on the entity, eligible clients may be covered by Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) (CySEC). Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under ASIC and CySEC rules. Retail leverage caps apply at the ASIC and CySEC-regulated entities (for example 30:1 on major FX pairs at ASIC).
OneRoyal provides access to MT4 and MT5.
