Mitrade EU has introduced an additional insurance layer for eligible clients under its CySEC-regulated entity, expanding investor protection beyond the standard safeguards required by European regulation.
The new excess-of-loss insurance arrangement became effective on September 1, 2026 and has been placed through Lloyd’s of London. Mitrade is covering the cost of the policy, meaning eligible clients do not need to pay extra or complete a separate opt-in process.
The move is designed to provide an extra level of protection in the event of insolvency at Mitrade EU Limited, subject to the policy’s terms and exclusions.
As a Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission-regulated investment firm, Mitrade EU is already required to follow a number of investor-protection rules.
These include the segregation of client funds and participation in the Investor Compensation Fund.
The newly introduced insurance policy sits on top of those existing protections and may cover eligible claims if Mitrade EU Limited becomes insolvent.
The policy carries a maximum aggregate coverage of €1 million across all claims combined.
However, the insurance is not intended to compensate clients for trading losses or losses resulting from market movements.
Mitrade EU said the initiative reflects its broader approach to client protection and risk management.
Timur Konsky, CEO of Mitrade EU, said regulation should be treated as a starting point rather than the final standard for investor protection.
According to Konsky, the company’s decision to arrange additional insurance is part of a wider effort to demonstrate transparency and security through practical safeguards rather than relying solely on marketing claims.
The move comes at a time when client protection, transparency and regulatory credibility are becoming increasingly important across the European CFD sector.
For brokers operating under established regulatory frameworks such as CySEC, additional safeguards can help differentiate their offering and strengthen confidence among clients who are increasingly focused on how firms manage operational and insolvency risks.
By adding Lloyd’s-backed excess-of-loss coverage, Mitrade EU is seeking to reinforce its regulated structure while offering eligible clients an additional layer of financial protection.
The policy applies automatically to qualifying clients and forms part of the broker’s wider strategy to strengthen trust, transparency and investor protection across its European operations.
