One of the most important things for us at eToro is making sure our users have all the answers regarding their investments.

After all, you’ve entrusted us with your hard-earned money and we want you to know precisely how we safeguard it.

Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions.

[Is my money protected at eToro?]

The short answer is yes, but let me elaborate.

We operate in over 100 countries and answer to local and regional regulators.

Additionally, we employ the highest standards of cyber security to ensure your personal information and data remain private.

[How does eToro hold its users’ money?

eToro works with top-tier banks and financial institutions that are kept under constant and rigid supervision, both internally and externally.

You should also know that as a regulated business, eToro’s funds and assets are kept in separate, segregated accounts from those of our users.

That way, if anything unexpected happens, your money will not be affected.

Which leads us straight to the next question.

[What happens to my money if eToro goes bankrupt?]

It is highly unlikely that eToro will go bankrupt.

We’ve been around since 2007 and we’re still growing.

But just to put your mind at ease, here’s what happens in case of insolvency.

We have clear, straightforward, strictly-regulated processes to ensure that our users will get their funds back .

Different jurisdictions have different investment compensation schemes, so your compensation will depend on your geographic location, assets you’re invested in, and the amount of money you invested.

That’s it for now.

You can find more answers to security questions in the next video.

Until then, thanks for watching and see you on eToro.
