Tickmill
Major regulatorTickmill names at least one top-tier authority. In some jurisdictions that brings a searchable public register, a compensation scheme and a hard cap on retail leverage — but which of those you actually get depends on the authority, and the entity your account is opened with.
The entity actually licensed
Tickmill UK Ltd — FCA reference 717270
This is the company, not the brand — the one your client agreement should name. Search it on the register below and confirm the permissions are current before you deposit. If the agreement names a different company, the protections on this page do not apply to your account.

Search the FSCA registerBefore you deposit
Open the client agreement and find the legal entity name. Then search that exact name on the register above. A group can hold a UK or Australian licence and still open your account on an offshore company, in which case the protections on this page do not apply to you. The website will not tell you which entity you get; the agreement will.
We publish no spread or swap figures for Tickmill. Those numbers are not available in any form we could cite, they change constantly, and they would be stale before you read them. Your own platform shows the exact terms of your account — put them into the cost calculator and the answer will be right rather than approximately plausible.
