Broker Safety Check by The Investors Centre

About

Thinking of opening an account with a trading platform? Before you deposit, see what the TIC community thinks.

Broker Safety Check is a free tool from The Investors Centre, an independent UK review site. Click the icon on a covered firm's website and instantly see:

  • Our community rating (0–5 stars) and the number of ratings behind it
  • Whether the firm is FCA-registered for UK users, with a one-tap link to verify on the official register
  • A clear "Approved", "Mixed", or "Avoid" verdict at a glance
  • A direct link to the full independent write-up on theinvestorscentre.co.uk

Coverage spans 23+ UK-accessible firms across CFD and spread-betting platforms, share-dealing apps, and major crypto exchanges. The list refreshes each quarter.

How it works
The extension checks the website you're on against a list bundled inside it. Everything happens locally on your device. No browsing data leaves your computer.

Why use it
Most comparison sites get their scores from anonymous sources or commercial partners. Ours come from real users at https://www.theinvestorscentre.co.uk/reviews/, and you can read each one in full with a single click. The regulator check is especially useful for crypto, where many of the largest platforms are not authorised for UK users.

What we don't do
  • We don't track you
  • We don't collect any personal data
  • We don't inject affiliate links or redirect your traffic
  • We don't read the content of any page, only the URL of the tab when you click the icon

Always verify regulatory status directly with the FCA before depositing funds. This tool is informational and not financial advice.
