Fortrade Secures DFSA Authorisation for Dubai Entity

Fortrade has received regulatory authorisation from the Dubai Financial Services Authority for its Dubai-based entity, Fortrade (DIFC) Limited. The licence places the company within the regulatory framework of the Dubai International Financial Centre, one of the region's established international financial hubs.
 

The development marks Fortrade's entry into the DIFC, a financial free zone that supports global financial institutions through a common-law legal system, independent courts, and internationally aligned regulation. The DIFC hosts banks, asset managers, insurers, and trading firms operating across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.
 

Chris Warburton, CEO, Fortrade, stated that the DFSA authorisation reflects the group's ongoing work to maintain consistent governance and compliance standards across its global operations. The licence positions the DIFC entity within a formal regulatory framework, alongside the company's other regulated entities in the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, and other jurisdictions.
 

The DFSA licence authorises Fortrade (DIFC) Limited to operate from within the DIFC framework. Fortrade continues to serve clients through regulated entities across multiple jurisdictions, with the Dubai presence adding to its regional footprint.
 

"Fortrade has always strived to make the trading experience straightforward, without layering on features that make it harder to use. That starts with platforms that are stable and accessible across web, mobile, and desktop, and extends to a broad product range. Alongside that, we provide educational materials and market analysis so traders have access to information when they need it. For those using structured approaches, including day trading, having everything within the same environment removes friction from the process," Chris Warburton, CEO, Fortrade.
