Editorial notice to check first

TIO-branded entities have multiple distinct regulatory matters. UK: TIO Markets UK Limited remains FCA-authorised (Firm Reference Number 488900), but the UK Financial Conduct Authority has issued two clone-firm advisories — "TIO Market Trading" at tiomarkets-trading.com dated 28 September 2023 (FCA: https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/tio-market-trading-tiomarkets-tradingcom-clone-fca-authorised-firm) and "TIO PreMarkets" at tiopremarkets.com dated 22 July 2024 (FCA: https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/tio-premarkets-tiopremarketscom-clone-fca-authorised-firm). Both are described by the FCA as "not authorised by us but … contacting people pretending to be an authorised firm." Cyprus: TIO Markets CY Ltd (Cyprus Investment Firm licence 429/23, originally authorised 10 April 2023) is under examination for voluntary renunciation of its CySEC authorisation (CySEC register: https://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-GB/entities/investment-firms/cypriot/96336/). The genuine FCA-authorised UK entity operates at www.tiomarkets.uk. Readers should verify the domain and Firm Reference Number against the FCA Register before depositing.

High commissions
Wide spreads
Limited tradable assets

Public-review checklist

1Separate broker brand reviews from reviews of the exact legal entity that would hold your account.
2Look for repeated patterns in recent public reviews: withdrawals, support response, slippage, platform outages and account closure.
3Treat review-site scores as directional, because dissatisfied users and marketing campaigns can both distort the sample.
4Check regulator registers, official warnings and account terms before relying on public sentiment.
5Compare complaints with your own use case: account size, funding method, product, platform and country.
