Australia · Licence coverage
Is eToro regulated in Australia?
The short answer
On the evidence we hold: no. eToro is matched to a licence on official registers, and none of them records cover for Australia. A licence held elsewhere regulates the firm where it was issued; it does not extend supervision, complaints handling or compensation to a client in Australia.
Investfora publishes what registers say. Nothing on this page is a recommendation, and we do not tell anyone what to do with their money.

The licences, and what they cover
No evidence of cover for Australia
| Regulator | Licence | Entity on the register | Register status | Fetched |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial Conduct Authority | 583263 | ETORO (UK) LIMITED | Active |
- This Financial Conduct Authority licence does not, on the evidence of the register itself, extend to Australia. A licence issued by Financial Conduct Authority regulates the entity in its home jurisdiction; it does not by itself make the broker supervised in Australia, and Australia's local protections or compensation schemes will generally not apply.
Coverage is read from the register record itself and nowhere else. Where a register does not record cover for Australia, we say we have no evidence of it — not that cover is impossible. The distinction matters, and we will not collapse it.
Regulation in Australia
The local authority is Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Whether a firm may deal with clients in Australia, and on what terms, is that authority’s question, not a question a foreign licence answers. Investfora does not currently query the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) register directly; the registers we do read are listed on our methodology page, along with the ones that block us.
Australia applies a statutory retail leverage cap of 30:1 on major currency pairs.
