FAQ

Frequently asked.

Does an ECSP licence protect my capital?

No. It covers conduct, capital, disclosure and complaint handling on the platform. Loans you fund are still subject to borrower default — there is no deposit-insurance equivalent.

Can an ECSP-licensed platform passport into my country?

Yes — once authorised in any EU member state, the platform can offer services to retail investors across the EU without a separate licence, subject to notification to the host regulator.
