CySEC

🔎 CySEC investment-firm register

Built for compliance teams, risk analysts, and developers, this Actor reads the public CySEC investment-firm register at run time. It saves one normalized row for each first eligible register entry, with the firm name, license number and type, status, license dates, authorized services, financial instruments, office details, and source URL. Use it to check published license details, review active and former firms, or pass register data to a downstream workflow.

• Search license issue dates with CySEC License Issue Date Search.
• List revoked entries with CySEC Revoked License List.
• Find a license by number with CySEC License Number Search.
• Look up a known firm with CySEC License Lookup.
• Browse regulated firms with CySEC Regulated Entities List.
• Review the public register with CySEC Investment Firm Register.
• Review entries for a forex search with CySEC Forex.

📋 CySEC license records

Each dataset row describes one public investment-firm register entry. It includes the firm identity, license details, status, dates, authorized services, financial instruments, office data, responsible persons, parent entities, regulatory actions, and the CySEC source URL. The Actor keeps source values such as unknown, null, or empty arrays when the register does not provide a detail. If the same source entry appears again during a run, the first eligible occurrence is saved and later matches are ignored.

▶️ Run a CySEC register search

How to run

1. Enter any optional filters in the input form.
2. Leave includeRevoked off to exclude source-published revoked and withdrawn entries.
3. Turn on includeRevoked before using the revocation date filters.
4. Set maxItems when you want to stop after a positive number of matching records. Leaving it empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted.
5. Start the Actor and open the Dataset URL output to view the saved rows.

The Actor reads the public CySEC source at run time. It does not need a source login. Each run uses one set of filters, so start separate runs for separate filter combinations.

❓ FAQ

Does this return a CySEC warning list?

No. It returns public investment-firm register entries. It is not a CySEC warning list, sanctions screen, or investment recommendation.

Is this the official CySEC service?

The Actor reads the public CySEC investment-firm register at run time. It is not the regulator and does not grant or confirm licenses beyond the values published in the source row.

Can I use it to check a CySEC forex firm?

Use the firm name or license number filters to find a public entry for a forex firm. You can then review its published status, dates, services, instruments, and source URL. The Actor does not make a separate forex certification decision.

Does this provide CySEC certification?

No. It returns public register data and does not issue a certification or legal opinion.

How do I include revoked and withdrawn entries?

Turn on includeRevoked. Revocation date filters work only when this option is on. When it is off, source-published revoked and withdrawn entries are excluded.

What does an unknown date mean?

It means the source did not publish that date. The Actor keeps unavailable data as unknown, null, or an empty array when that shape allows it. It does not infer missing values.

How does the Actor handle duplicate entries?

If the same source entry appears again during a run, the first eligible occurrence is saved and later matches are ignored. The saved row reflects the first match only.

Can one run use several search setups?

No. One run uses one set of filters. Start another run when you need a different filter combination.

Does the Actor need a CySEC login?

No. It reads the public CySEC source without a source login.
