Global financial services provider B2PRIME Group has secured authorisation from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) for its regional subsidiary, B2B Prime Services MENA Limited, to operate from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The firm appears on the DFSA Public Register (Ref. F009446), with the licence effective from 15 August 2025, and its office located at Emirates Financial Towers in the DIFC.
DFSA permissions allow the subsidiary to act as both agent and principal in dealing with investments across multiple products, with an endorsement to hold or control client assets. This brings client-asset oversight under the DFSA’s Client Money/Client Assets regime.
The DFSA is the independent regulator for the DIFC, a common-law financial hub with English-language courts known for contract-based enforcement. The centre has positioned itself as a base for banks, asset managers, hedge funds and professional counterparties, with governance frameworks designed for cross-border activity. In 2025, the DIFC was ranked among the top tier of global financial centres.
In parallel, the DFSA’s standards align with international best practice. The authority is a signatory to IOSCO’s Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MMoU) and its Enhanced MMoU (EMMoU), participates in global standard-setting bodies including IOSCO, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), and the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS), and applies a risk-based supervisory approach. For institutional clients, this supports recognised controls, cooperation with peer regulators and smoother cross-border onboarding.

“Institutions want certainty and scale and DFSA authorisation delivers exactly what we need — a recognised rulebook, accountable governance and tested controls. Our job is the scale: deep liquidity, clean integrations and faster time-to-market. The DIFC is now our launchpad to lead the way across MENA,”
— Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder & Executive Director, B2PRIME Group
Operating from the DIFC, B2PRIME Group will target banks and regulated financial institutions, global asset managers, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, family offices and other professional counterparties across the Gulf and wider MENA region. With DFSA permission to hold and control client assets, the firm falls under segregation, reconciliation and independent audit requirements. Its institutional execution framework focuses on deep liquidity, transparent pricing and Best Execution oversight across permitted instruments.
Alex Tsepaev, Chief Strategy Officer, B2PRIME Group

It gives counterparties the governance they demand – client-asset protection, audited controls, and a trusted legal framework – while B2PRIME delivers what matters on the desk: deep liquidity, transparent pricing and execution quality across the region.”
