CFD Broker Mitrade EU Introduces Excess-of-Loss Insurance Protection for Its Clients

Published

18 minutes ago

September 3, 2026

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CFD broker Mitrade has arranged additional insolvency insurance for eligible clients onboarded under its CySEC licence. The initiative reflects a broader focus on strengthening client confidence and investor protection.

This excess-of-loss policy supplements protections CySEC already mandates. CySEC-authorised investment firms are required to segregate client funds and contribute to the Investor Compensation Fund. Beyond those statutory safeguards, Mitrade EU Limited’s discretionary insurance coverage has been arranged through Lloyd’s of London and funded by Mitrade. It is automatically available to eligible clients without an opt-in requirement or additional client charge.

Should Mitrade EU Limited become insolvent, the policy may cover eligible claims, subject to its terms, conditions and exclusions, up to a maximum aggregate amount of €1 million across all claims combined. It does not cover trading losses or losses caused by market movements.

“Regulation sets the baseline; we decide how much further to go for clients,” said Timur Konsky, CEO of Mitrade EU. “That is why we put additional insurance in place with Lloyd’s of London. Our approach is to identify where clients can be protected and take steps to reduce those risks. Transparency and safety should not be marketing language; they should be demonstrated through the safeguards a broker chooses to put in place. We want our clients to judge us by our actions, and this policy is another concrete example of that commitment.”

Mitrade EU’s excess-of-loss insurance cover takes effect from 1 September 2026.
