UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is in charge of the financial markets and financial services providers in the country, including forex and CFD brokers, announced that from January 3, 2018 it is taking over the regulation of the binary options brokers, as well. Until now, the binary options companies in Great Britain were overseen by the Gambling Commission.
The new state of things would mean that the binary options brokers will be authorized and supervised by FCA, individual complaints will have to be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service and consumers will have access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
