Broker Details
What Equiti's licences actually mean for you
A licence is not a badge to hang on a website. What matters is which authority issued it, and whether that authority covers clients in the UAE. These are the authorities named in Equiti's own disclosure:
- Securities and Commodities Authority — now the Capital Market Authority Covers the UAE
The UAE federal regulator. Renamed to the Capital Market Authority in January 2026; the older name remains in wide circulation.
- Financial Conduct Authority (UK)
The UK regulator, generally regarded as among the more demanding globally.
- Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission
Cyprus regulator operating under EU rules. A common licence for brokers serving European clients.
- Jordan Securities Commission
Jordan's securities regulator.
Other authorities named
FSA · CBA
Named in the broker's disclosure but not explained here, because these acronyms refer to different authorities in different countries and we don't state what we can't confirm.

Before you open an account
Five steps that take minutes and save a great deal later — they apply to any broker, not just this one.
- 1 Search the legal entity name in the regulator's public register, not the brand name.
- 2 Confirm the entity receiving your transfer is the one holding the licence. They are not always the same.
- 3 Read the withdrawal terms before depositing, not after. That is where undisclosed fees surface.
- 4 Use the demo account for weeks rather than hours, and record your results honestly.
- 5 Write down your risk per trade before depositing a single dollar.
