FP Markets Enhances Regulatory Presence in UAE
FP Markets, a global multi-asset broker recognized for its Forex and CFD trading, has successfully secured a Category 5 license from the Capital Market Authority (CMA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Previously known as the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), the CMA's endorsement marks a significant milestone for FP Markets as it expands its regulatory framework across various regions. The broker, which began its operations in Sydney, Australia, has made this strategic move to strengthen its foothold within the Emirati financial market.
This newly acquired license allows FP Markets to engage in marketing, promotions, and customer acquisitions across Dubai and the broader UAE market. The recent years have seen the UAE attracting an increasing number of brokers, fintech companies, and other financial service providers seeking to benefit from a robust regulatory environment while growing their regional client base.
John Lewis, FP Markets’ Marketing Director, emphasizes the company’s commitment to regulatory compliance, stating, "Acquiring a license from the CMA is part of FP Markets' long-term regulatory strategy. Over the last two decades, every license we have obtained has brought us closer to establishing a multi-regulated presence, with the UAE being a natural progression in this journey. For our clients and partners, this translates to enhanced safety, transparency, and service quality."
Additionally, the new license strengthens FP Markets’ regulatory relationships within the UAE market, complementing its existing multi-jurisdictional oversight. The broker already holds licenses from several key international authorities, including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa, and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya.
FP Markets is dedicated to further broadening its regulatory coverage across various markets while continuously investing in trading infrastructure, technology, and support functions. This ensures that their growth in regulatory compliance aligns with the award-winning service quality they provide to both clients and partners.
Founded in 2005, FP Markets boasts a rich history as a globally recognized, multi-regulated, and award-winning broker. The firm offers a vast selection of over 10,000 CFD instruments across seven asset classes, which are accessible through industry-leading platforms such as MetaTrader 4/5, TradingView, and cTrader.
Staying true to its mission, FP Markets remains committed to providing exceptional service backed by strong regulatory compliance, ensuring both client and partner satisfaction. With the recent acquisition of the CMA Category 5 license, FP Markets is poised to thrive in the competitive financial landscape of the UAE.
