    We operate in strict accordance with the Financial Service Authority's client money rules and have a strong commitment to protecting retail client funds. Trading with us offers the following benefits:

    City Index – A Safe and Secure Option

    At City Index, all client funds are kept in a segregated account unless requested otherwise. This means that as a retail client, any Client Money that you have transferred to us will be held by us in trust for you at all times.

    Your money will be segregated from our own money and you would be fully entitled to all of your account funds in the highly unlikely event of an insolvency, as your money will be excluded from our assets. See our Terms and Conditions for more information.
