Banc de Binary Becomes First CySec Regulated Binary Brokerage

ForexNewsNow – Renowned binary options broker Banc de Binary just announced that it managed to become the first binary options broker to be licensed in Cyprus by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).

As such, Banc de Binary is at this moment one of the few binary options brokers on the market that is fully regulated and licensed in a reputable jurisdiction. The CySEC license attests that that Banc de Binary only offers completely safe and fair options trading services and that it respects the laws and regulations of Cyprus as well as the European Union.

Cyprus is the first European Union member state to decide to regulate binary options trading. Early 2012 the country announced that it would develop an up and running binary options regulatory framework during the year. Later the year, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) was tasked with the regulation of binary options and evaluation of license applications.

Banc de Binary was one of the first options brokers to apply for the CySEC license. Being the largest and most reputable company that applied for a Cyprus license, it was clear that it would be the first broker to receive the approval of the CySEC. During 2012 we multiple times predicted that Banc de Binary will be the one that will receive the first CySEC license.

Cyprus is a full member of the European Union and as such the binary options licenses issued by the CySEC also protect traders located in other EU member states. This is because Cyprus is obliged to only implement regulations and laws that are in conformity with European Union law.

So, while Banc de Binary officially only received a license in Cyprus, its services and operations are regulated by European Union legislation that is valid in every single member state. As such, Banc de Binary is also one of the first regulated and licensed binary options brokers in the European Union.

The laws of Cyprus and the European Union also require brokers not to discriminate traders based on country of origin. This means that the same trader protection standards that European traders enjoy will also be applied on every single trader regardless if they are located in countries outside of the European Union.

So even if binary options trading is not regulated in a particular country, trading at Banc de Binary is completely safe and secure since the regulations and safety standards imposed by the CySEC are also valid on traders located in other countries.
