CySEC indicates that providers of financial services are not legally allowed to operate in Cyprus if they do not hold the necessary licenses by either CySEC or equivalent EU member state regulatory authorities.

It was also reported that Vinson Financials (Cyprus-based provider of financial services) had renounced its regulatory CySEC license earlier on this week.
