Best Binary Options Brokers Get Even Better Due To Increased Competition

London, February 19, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Most of the binary options brokers are not licensed or regulated. With over 300 binary options brokers online, it is becoming increasingly difficult for traders to discern which broker to use.

There are now more than 20 binary options brokers that are legitimate licensed financial institutions. They may be licensed by CySEC in Cyprus or a financial regulator like the FSPR in New Zealand. The main thing is that they are licensed.

If a broker is not licensed, then there is no guarantee for the investor that the broker will not close their website one day, and their funds are lost.
