FCA confirms permanent ban on the sale of binary options to retail consumers
Regulatory Updates | 02/04/19

The new rules tackle widespread concerns about the inherent risks of these products, and the poor conduct of the firms selling them. This has led to consumer harm in the UK and internationally through large and unexpected trading losses.
