Your money deserves more than promises — it deserves protection. That’s why CUSP and all of our partners operate under strict financial rules, supervised by trusted regulators in the UAE and the US.
Here’s how that works for you:
1. CUSP – Regulated in UAE
CUSP is based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and licensed (License Number: 10863) by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). Reference Number: F011420
What this means for you: The DFSA ensures that we follow strict rules to protect your investments, keep your data safe, and prevent fraud or money laundering.
Think of it as the UAE’s watchdog for financial firms — making sure everything runs with integrity.
2. Alpaca Securities – US Protections
Your trades and investments are handled by Alpaca Securities LLC, our US-based brokerage partner. They’re overseen by three major regulators:
SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission): The main US financial regulator — ensuring brokers follow the law.
FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority): A self-regulatory body that makes sure brokers treat customers fairly.
SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation): Provides insurance coverage up to $500,000 (including up to $250,000 in cash) if a broker ever fails.
What this means for you: Your assets are not just managed, they’re safeguarded under one of the world’s most trusted financial protection systems.
