CITY INDEX is a forex & CFD broker based in United Kingdom, established in 1983. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 8.4 out of 10, which we rate as Good — above the 5.3/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. Solid, well-regulated profile suitable for most traders.
Crucially, CITY INDEX is regulated by FCA, including at least one tier-1 regulator. Tier-1 regulation is the strongest sign of legitimacy: it normally requires segregated client funds, regular audits and access to a compensation scheme if the broker fails — meaningful protection for your money.
CITY INDEX provides access to forex and CFDs. Published conditions include leverage up to 1:500. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, CITY INDEX looks like a credible option — but always verify the licence yourself and start with a small amount.

Frequently asked
Is CITY INDEX a safe broker?
CITY INDEX scores 8.4 / 10 on our Trust Score, above the 5.3 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. It holds tier-1 regulation, which offers strong investor protection. It has no complaints on record with us. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the CITY INDEX trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top. Read our methodology.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
Can I withdraw funds easily from CITY INDEX?
CITY INDEX publishes some trading terms, but always confirm withdrawal fees directly. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
