Use the DIFC financial-services register, then read the account agreement.

What to compare
The DFSA record can distinguish arranging from dealing and specify retail or client-assets endorsements. A group may have another entity outside DIFC. The name at the top of the application and on the signed agreement matters more than a group-wide badge.
Limits of the published information
Plus500AE’s captured entry shows arranging permission, while other captured records include matched-principal dealing. Those are different scopes. A historical withdrawn record, such as the older Saxo Dubai record, must not be used as current authorisation.
Alphabetical research sample. A broker-published reference is not an independent register match. These records do not establish the issuer of every account under the brand.
Tickmill’s DIFC record lists a representative office. Plus500AE’s entry lists arranging deals for futures. HF Markets (DIFC) Limited’s entry includes matched-principal dealing and client-assets and retail endorsements. These observations describe named companies, not group-wide permissions.
Use these differences to frame an account question: who introduces, who issues the product and who is responsible for client money? A broader list of activities is not a performance score. Match the proposed agreement before applying any protection or pricing claim.
