Regulated Forex Brokers in Ireland

Although Ireland is not normally thought of as a popular forex broker jurisdiction, there are some brokers that call this land of tasty beer and whisky home. One reason for this is obviously to serve the local Irish trading community, while another reason may have to do with the advantageous tax policies that some companies enjoy in Ireland.

Although all forex & CFD brokers in Ireland are regulated directly by the Central Bank of Ireland, this does not mean that they can escape the strict EU regulations imposed by the European Securities and Markets Authority, better known as the ESMA. Because of this, forex brokers registered in Ireland restricts trading leverage for EU-based traders to just 1:30, just like most other countries in Europe also do.
