Your funds are protected
Feel confident knowing your funds are kept under established protection measures.
This is how we safeguard your funds
Funds Insurance
We offer insurance with Lloyd's for your funds from €20,000 to €1,000,000, in the unlikely event of insolvency. This is additional indemnity and insolvency insurance coverage and does not replace the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF). Click here to learn more.
Secure and Segregated Accounts
Your funds are held in segregated bank accounts, entirely separate from Tickmill's operational money. We collaborate exclusively with regulated, reputable banking partners.
Financially Robust
We are adequately funded and ensure robust liquidity to operate efficiently during volatile market conditions.
Negative Balance Protection
As a client of Tickmill Europe Ltd, you benefit from our Negative Balance Protection policy. Thus, if your account falls into negative equity, we will reset your account balance to zero and take on the loss. This serves as an additional safeguard to ensure you don’t lose more funds than your initial deposit. This protection applies in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
*Negative balance protection for Professional clients is offered on a case-by-case basis. The Company reserves the right to withdraw this privilege.
Investor Compensation Fund
Tickmill Europe Ltd is an official member of the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) of Cyprus. The Fund provides compensation to clients if a fund member is unable to meet its obligations. In such a case, the maximum compensation for each covered client is twenty thousand euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has, their base currencies, and the place where the investment service is provided. Compensation is subject to eligibility criteria and the terms of the Investor Compensation Fund, as defined under applicable CySEC regulations.
The Fund is obliged to compensate each claimant within three months of dispatching to CySEC the minutes specifying the compensation amount, provided the claim is recognised as justified. For more details, click here.
