For European retail clients, disputes that cannot be settled internally within statutory timeframes can be escalated directly to the Financial Ombudsman of the Republic of Cyprus. Client funds are kept in segregated statutory accounts with reputable commercial banks, completely ring-fenced from operational capital. European retail accounts under CySEC are protected by the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund (ICF), providing statutory compensation up to €20,000 per person in the event of institutional default. Accounts registered under the Seychelles FSA or Lebanese CMA operate under their respective local laws and do not benefit from European ICF compensation coverage.
