Ultima Markets, a globally recognized CFD broker for online trading, has recently secured its license to operate from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom. This important milestone probably reflects Ultima Markets' commitment to establishing a regulated presence within one of the world's leading financial centers.

Based in Mauritius, Ultima Markets is set to launch its UK services in 2026, marking a crucial addition to its global portfolio. With an estimated 19 million active traders projected in the UK by 2024, Ultima Markets aims to cater to this growing market.

Gareth Derbyshire, a spokesperson for Ultima Markets, stated, "We are incredibly proud of this step. Securing FCA regulation underscores our long-term dedication to the UK and our commitment to adhering to its regulatory standards. British traders can expect transparency, integrity, and a clear focus on their trading experience from us."

The upcoming localized offering will feature a dedicated website, enhanced compliance systems, and platform functions tailored to FCA standards. Derbyshire emphasized, "We are taking every measure to fully meet expectations, which is more than just ticking boxes. Our products, training programs, and support tools are being developed specifically for British traders."

UK traders can look forward to access to a comprehensive range of CFD tools offered by Ultima Markets, including currency pairs, indices, commodities, and stocks. They will also be able to trade on leading platforms such as MetaTrader 4 (MT4).
