What is a Professional Account?
A Plus500 Professional Account is available to traders who meet the regulatory threshold to opt up from Retail Client to Elective Professional Client. Professional accounts are not subject to ESMA’s new leverage restrictions. Learn More.
The Investor Compensation Fund for Clients of Cypriot Investment Firms (CIFs) does not cover Elective Professional Clients. However, Elective Professional Clients still enjoy some of the current protections offered to our Retail Clients such as Client Money protection, Negative Balance protection, Best Execution arrangements and CY Financial Ombudsman Services.
How to Change Back to Retail?
Clients with a Professional Account have the right to request at any time to return to a Retail Account, by contacting our Customer Support team via email or chat.
Plus500 does not claim to be an official academic institution that has received recognition from any country/government.
