European Brokerage

A Cyprus online broker writes the terms its clients accept in its app, then lives by them. You act for the broker.

How an online broker serves its clients under EU law, taught through one client agreement, clause by clause.

A café table on a promenade by the sea, drawn from straight above like a plan. Across the top, beyond a railing, is the sea. On the round table lie a folded newspaper, a pair of sunglasses, a small coffee on its saucer and a phone, face up and turned towards the reader's seat; its screen shows a few grey lines and a single button, in copper: the order the client places alone. Two empty chairs stand at the table, their backs running out of the picture, and the scalloped shadow of the café's awning falls across the near edge. Out of that shade, a cat's paw has come up over the edge of the table.

You will be able to:

  • Read a broker’s client agreement and say what each clause does
  • Explain what the broker and its clients each want, and why
  • Spot when an app feature or a fee breaks the rules
