What CFD Brokers Must Know Now: 2026 Regulations

The July edition of the Finance Magnates Compliance Report has been released at a crucial moment for brokers, fintech companies, and financial service providers operating internationally. As global compliance regulations continue to evolve, our latest report highlights two pressing issues that could significantly impact your business before the end of the year.

📌 ASIC’s 2026 Qualification Deadline: Time to Get Adviser Records in Shape

If you are a CFD broker licensed under Australia’s AFS framework, it is essential to take note now. ASIC is implementing new education and qualification requirements for advisers, with a firm deadline set for January 2026. In this report, we explain what these changes entail, how to audit your records properly, and the risk areas that you cannot afford to overlook. Waiting until 2026 to address these issues is not an option.

📌 The EU Accessibility Act: Digital Compliance Goes Beyond the Basics

Accessibility is no longer just a tech feature; it’s a legal requirement. The European Union’s Accessibility Act (EAA) brings a new set of rules for fintech and trading platforms operating in or targeting the EU. Our report explains how to make your online platforms compliant, what the law expects from user journeys, and why this matters beyond avoiding penalties. From login screens to payment pages, every customer touchpoint must now be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

🔎 Insight from France: AMF’s Survey Offers a Wake-Up Call

This month’s “Spotlight On” section features a survey from France’s AMF that looks closely at how trading platforms are failing users. Key problems include poor risk warnings, hidden fees, and limited accessibility, especially on CFD platforms. If you’re looking to build trust and stay compliant in the French market, this part of the report is a must-read.

Who Should Read This Compliance Report?

This report is invaluable for anyone involved in compliance or risk management within their organisation. Whether you are part of a compliance team, a legal advisor, or a business leader in the Financial Industry, the information provided will enhance your understanding of the current situation and help you make more informed decisions.
