Trading Tips
Check CONSOB blacklist before trading with any broker
Italian traders have EU-level protection
CONSOB actively pursues unauthorized firms
CONSOB Example
Say an Italian trader searches a flashy new broker on the CONSOB blacklist and finds it flagged as unauthorized. One search kills the pitch. CONSOB blocks payment flows to listed sites, so deposits may never even arrive.
How Traders Use CONSOB
Check the CONSOB warnings page before any deposit from Italy. Unauthorized firms cannot legally serve you, and money sent anyway sits outside every safety net.
