The broker positions itself as a provider of a trading environment built on trust, fairness, and accountability.
Client protection and a global regulatory network
The FCA accreditation enables the broker’s clients to access protections such as the Financial Ombudsman Service and, subject to eligibility, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This framework ensures transparent and regulated trading, reinforcing the company’s mission to safeguard and reassure all market participants.
In addition to its new FCA status, Ultima Markets holds a licence from the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius and is a member of the Financial Commission, an independent dispute resolution body for the Forex and CFD industry. Serving clients in more than 170 countries, the broker is known for fast trade execution, high liquidity, and advanced trading technology.
As the first CFD broker to join the United Nations Global Compact, Ultima Markets incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into its operations. Through the Ultima Impact Foundation, the company actively supports initiatives in education, climate action, and expanding access to financial services worldwide.
Looking ahead
The FCA authorisation not only strengthens Ultima Markets’ reputation for regulatory compliance but also signals its readiness to deliver its suite of trading services to one of the most sophisticated financial markets in the world. Ahead of its UK launch, the broker aims to combine innovation, security, and global expertise to serve both retail and institutional traders.
