CFI Financial Group has secured regulatory authorisation from Colombia's Financial Superintendence (SFC) to establish a representative office in Bogotá, marking the latest expansion for the Dubai-based online trading firm.
The licence permits CFI to conduct market awareness and promotional activities for approved products within Colombia's regulatory framework. The Bogotá office will provide Colombian clients with direct access to global markets through the company's trading platforms and educational resources.

The Colombian expansion follows CFI's recent market entries across South Africa, Azerbaijan, and Bahrain as part of its Latin American growth strategy.
