Account Migration and Adjustments

Your eToro account may transition between different eToro corporate entities, leading to a change in the overseeing regulator. Typically, such shifts are based on your country of residence.

Should such a migration be intended, eToro will notify you. If you don't respond to this notice, it will be interpreted as your acceptance of the migration and your agreement to the terms and conditions of the new corporate entity.
