The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission announces that the authorisation of the Cyprus Investment Firm Prior Capital Cy Ltd, number 221/13, is suspended in whole. Prior Capital Cy Ltd operates the brands PriorFX and Prior Capital. The main reason for the license withdrawal was the regulator's suspicions of alleged rules violations and the company's possible non-compliance at all times with the authorisation conditions.
The above decision was reached as the aforementioned alleged violation causes concern and risk relating to the protection of the Prior Capital Cy Ltd clients and/or constitutes a threat to the orderly operation and integrity of the market.
The regulator ordered Prior Capital Cy Ltd to take actions in order to comply with the aforementioned provisions. The company has twenty days to do that.
