FCA licenses can be divided into four categories and seven types: EU licenses (EEA authorization), full licenses (authorization), payment licenses and authorization licenses (AR); Full license can be divided into investment consulting license, STP license and MM license, and authorized license can be divided into import license and independent license.

AR can be roughly divided into two types,

One is to introduce AR(introducere appointed? Representative /IAR), only introduce customers to the entrusted broker.

The other is independently operated AR. AR, which operates independently, uses its own brand to conduct business. It needs to be authorized by FCA, that is, to obtain AR license, it must have a registered legal company and operation office in the UK.

Since the master broker is responsible for all AR activities, AR customers need to pass the compliance audit of the master broker. Customers' trading orders are usually also handled by the main broker. Because of this, AR customers can also enjoy the protection of FCA and FSCS in the UK as long as they entrust their brokers to accept the supervision of FCA in the UK.
