Tickmill is a global broker scheme regulated in various jurisdictions. In the EEA, the broker is regulated by the Cypriot CySEC, and in the UK by the FCA. Retail traders who provide an EEA address during onboarding can only register with the CySEC-regulated Tickmill. UK residents are only accepted at the FCA-regulated entity. The rest of the world will be processed through the FSA-regulated Seychelles entity. We have added Tickmill to our Green Compliance list.

The Tickmill Narrative
In the UK Companies House, the two Tickmill founders, Ingmar Mattus and Illimar Mattus, appear as the shareholders and beneficial owners. Both hold between 25 – 50% of the shares. In addition, Duncan Anderson, CEO of Tickmill UK, is also listed as having significant control. The CEO of Tickmill Europe is Valerijus Ovsianikas, who lives in Cyprus.
With nearly 2 million website visitors between June and August 2023, Tickmill is one of the larger brokers in the retail sector.
Compliance Check
Tickmill has an exemplary onboarding and KYC system that most other offshore brokers do not want to have. During onboarding, the broker in charge is suggested based on the whereabouts provided. EEA residents can thus only register with CySEC-regulated Tickmill Europe Ltd and UK residents only with FCA-regulated Tickmill UK Ltd.
The citizens of other jurisdictions are usually referred to the FSA-regulated Tickmill Ltd in Seychelles. Residents of non-EEA members in Europe, such as Serbia, can choose to register with the FCA– or FSA-regulated entity.
No pre-KYC deposits: deposits are not possible before the completion of the KYC. Thus, Tickmill complies with the regulatory requirements of ESMA and other regulatory regimes.
We, therefore, put Tickmill on our Green Compliance list and recommend the broker.
