Cypriot entities
An EU member state using the euro, with a substantial professional services sector. Home to many CySEC-licensed brokers, holding companies and trading businesses.
In shortCCYFX onboards Cyprus companies, including CySEC-licensed investment firms such as CFD and FX brokers. Cyprus uses the euro, which matches the CCYFX base currency. Typical documents include registrar certificates of directors, shareholders and registered office.
An EU base for brokers and international groups
Cyprus combines EU membership, the euro and a legal system based on English common law. It is a major centre for investment firms licensed by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), including many CFD and FX brokers.
Cypriot clients typically hold euros and pay liquidity providers, technology vendors and group companies in USD, GBP and other currencies. Our EUR base currency keeps those conversions simple.
