FP Markets Secures UAE CMA License, Expands Global Reach

FP Markets has secured a Category 5 license from the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of the United Arab Emirates, formerly the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). This regulatory achievement marks a significant step in the multi-asset broker's global expansion strategy.

The newly acquired license is held by the group company FP Markets MENA Securities L.L.C. S.O.C. and authorizes the broker to engage in marketing, advertising, and client acquisition initiatives within Dubai and throughout the UAE. The United Arab Emirates has become an attractive destination for financial service providers seeking a robust regulatory framework.

John Lewis, Chief Marketing Officer at FP Markets, stated that acquiring the CMA license is integral to the company's long-term regulatory approach. He emphasized that each license obtained over the past two decades has contributed to building a multi-jurisdictional regulatory presence. For clients and partners, this license is expected to translate into greater security, transparency, and service quality.

This CMA license establishes a more direct regulatory relationship within the UAE market, complementing FP Markets' existing oversight from multiple authorities. The broker is currently regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Seychelles, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa, and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya.

FP Markets intends to continue expanding its regulatory coverage across various markets while investing in its trading infrastructure, technology, and support functions to ensure its regulatory growth aligns with its award-winning service standards.
