JustMarkets vs Tickmill
Compare safety scores, regulators and the legal entity responsible for each trading account.
The number of licences alone is not enough. Verify the legal entity that will hold your account.
4 registered licences • 4.10 out of 5
JustMarkets emphasizes client protection features such as segregated accounts and negative balance protection in its official materials. Its trust profile is practical, though the strength of safeguards still depends on the operating entity.
JustMarkets states that client funds are held separately from the company’s operating funds. Negative balance protection is also available under the conditions of the relevant account and legal entity, helping prevent eligible clients from being required to cover a negative balance caused by exceptional market movements.
The legal strength of these safeguards is not identical for every JustMarkets client. Client-money rules, investor compensation arrangements and complaint procedures may differ between the CySEC-regulated entity and international entities regulated in Seychelles, Mauritius or the British Virgin Islands. Traders should confirm the legal company responsible for their account before depositing.
4 registered licences • 4.65 out of 5
Tickmill operates through entities that include Tickmill UK Ltd, authorised by the UK FCA under licence number 717270; Tickmill Europe Ltd, regulated by CySEC under licence number 278/15; Tickmill South Africa, supervised by the FSCA; and Tickmill Ltd, regulated by the Seychelles FSA under licence number SD008 for several international markets.
The FCA and CySEC entities provide the stronger regulatory framework within the group, but a client may be assigned to the South African or Seychelles entity depending on the country of residence. This can affect leverage, investor protection, negative-balance protection and complaint procedures even when Tickmill platforms and account names appear similar.
Before choosing Tickmill because of its trading costs or active-trader accounts, traders should review the legal entity shown during registration and verify its licence number in the official register. This allows them to compare execution quality and spreads with the level of oversight actually responsible for the account.
Regulated Tickmill entities hold eligible client funds in segregated accounts according to the client-money rules of the relevant regulator. Negative balance protection may also be available under the conditions of specific entities and account types, helping eligible clients avoid liability resulting from a negative trading-account balance.
Some clients registered with the UK or European entities may qualify for statutory investor compensation schemes. These protections do not automatically extend to international accounts opened with the Seychelles entity. Traders should verify the legal company, licence number, fund-custody rules and complaint procedure applying to their account before depositing.
Before depositing, match the legal entity and licence number in your client agreement with the regulator’s official register.
