      ATFX Obtains Hong Kong SFC License, Expanding Its Global Reach

      Published: just now

      ATFX Hong Kong

      Global CFD broker ATFX has been granted a Type 3 license by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) Central Entity Number: BUM667. This development allows the company to provide services to institutional professional investors in Hong Kong through its entity AT Global Financial Services (HK) Limited.

       

      The license acquisition is part of ATFX's strategy to strengthen its presence in the Asian market and support its global business growth. It adds to the company's existing regulatory approvals from various international financial authorities, including the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).

       

      Joe Li, Chairman of ATFX, commented on the development: "We are thrilled to have been granted the Hong Kong SFC license, which is a significant milestone for ATFX. This license not only strengthens our commitment to the Hong Kong market, but also validates our dedication to the highest regulatory standards and our unwavering focus on providing our institutional professional clients with a secure and trusted trading environment. We look forward to further expanding our presence and serving our valued Hong Kong-based clients with the exceptional service they have come to expect from ATFX."

       

      The company views this new license as a stepping stone for further expansion in the global market. ATFX plans to enhance its brand influence and leverage its advantages to penetrate broader international markets.

      ATFX currently holds licenses from multiple regulatory bodies worldwide, including those in the UK, Cyprus, South Africa, UAE, Australia, Mauritius, and Seychelles. These endorsements aim to ensure investor protection as the company continues to grow its global operations.
