The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) today confirms that the Investors Compensation Fund (ICF) has withdrawn the ICF membership of Coverdeal Holdings Ltd, operator of brands such as Coverdeal FX.
It is noted that, in accordance with paragraph 6(3) of the Directive, the loss of ICF membership status does not mean loss of rights of covered clients to receive compensation in relation to investment operations carried out until the loss of membership status, if the conditions for compensation are fulfilled pursuant to the Directive, nor does it obstruct the initiation of the compensation procedure for covered clients.
The withdrawal of the ICF membership was announced shortly after CySECs decision to withdraw the Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) authorisation of Coverdeal Holdings Ltd.
Lets note that Coverdeal Holdings operates a raft of online trading brands, such as Coverdeal FX and Globtrex. The list of domains the company operates includes:
www.coverdealfx.eu; www.coverdealfx.cz; www.coverdealfx.pl; www.coverdealfx.sk; www.globtrex.com; www.coverdealfx.com; www.coverdeal.eu; www.globtrex.co.za
Most of the above-mentioned websites are no longer active. Others are still up and running but show the following announcement:
