Pros
- Real FCA license confirmed on an official FCA page, number 767154
- Offers both CFD and tax free spread betting accounts for UK residents
- Backed by a second, separate license in the Bahamas for global clients
- Eligible UK client funds are covered by FSCS protection up to £85,000
Cons
- No published starting spread, so real trading costs are hard to compare
- Not open to residents of the EU, US, Canada, Singapore, or Switzerland
- A clone firm used the Acetop name in a 2022 FCA scam warning
- Adds a yearly admin fee on top of the normal overnight swap charge
- Small client base compared with larger, better known UK brokers
Acetop Financial Limited began trading in London in 2016. The Financial Conduct Authority gave the firm license number 767154. A sister company, Acetop Global Markets Limited, holds a separate license in the Bahamas for clients who live outside the UK and Europe.
Traders can open a CFD account or a spread betting account, both run on the MT4 platform with a mobile app. Acetop lists around 50 markets, covering forex, indices, and commodities. The minimum deposit is £100, $150, or €150, depending on the account currency, and spreads are variable with no published starting figure.
In 2022 the FCA published a warning about a fake firm using the Acetop name and a different phone number. That clone has no link to the real, regulated broker. Always check you reached the official acetop.uk site before you open an account. Acetop does not accept clients from the EU, the US, Canada, Singapore, or Switzerland.
