After nearly a year, CySEC reinstates license of FX and Binary Options broker Boursotrade

Boursotrade CySEC CIF license

Cyprus financial regulator CySEC has announced that it has withdrawn the CIF license suspension of Boursotrade Ltd.

We had reported in March 2017 that CySEC had issued a temporary suspension of Boursotrade’s license, due to “Persons who effectively direct the business”.

Boursotrade Ltd operated several website brands, including boursotrade.com, boursepro.com, and Binary options broker boursebinary.com.

Although its CIF license has now been reinstated, the company’s websites remain down for the time being (as per above), with the notice:

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (‘CySEC’) has announced on 17 March 2017 that the authorisation of Boursotrade Ltd (‘the Company’), with license number 235/14, is suspended. Based on the said decision the Company cannot enter into a business relationship with any person and take upon any new client.
