ISA regulated forex brokers

Israel Securities Authority · 🇮🇱 Israel

The Israel Securities Authority (ISA) is the financial regulator for Israel, established in 1968. ForexLicenses.com classifies it as tier 2 (strong regulation). We currently match 1 broker in our database to an ISA licence.

Israel is home to several global retail trading companies, including Plus500 and eToro. Since 2016 the ISA has licensed a small number of firms to offer leveraged forex and CFDs to Israeli residents under a dedicated regime that includes leverage limits and strict disclosure; binary options were banned outright in 2017.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a broker is ISA regulated?

Search the firm's name or licence number on the ISA official register (https://www.isa.gov.il/sites/ISAEng/), confirm the status is current and that the website domain you're using is listed, then check the ISA warning list for clones.

Does the ISA offer investor compensation?

No compensation scheme

What leverage do ISA-regulated brokers offer?

Retail leverage restrictions apply; check the firm's disclosures

Is negative balance protection required by the ISA?

We have not confirmed a blanket requirement under the ISA. Check the broker's client agreement for its negative balance policy.
