FP Markets Receives UAE CMA Category 5 License
Global multi-asset forex and CFD broker FP Markets has received a Category 5 license from the UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA), formerly known as the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). The approval expands the Australian-founded broker's regulatory coverage and supports its entry into the UAE market.
FP Markets MENA Securities L.L.C. S.O.C., a group company, holds the license. It allows FP Markets to conduct marketing and promotional activities and introduce clients in Dubai and other emirates.
The UAE has attracted more brokers, fintech companies, and financial services firms in recent years. Many are seeking a regulated base as they expand their presence and serve clients across the region.
"Receiving a CMA license supports FP Markets' long-term regulatory strategy," said John Lewis, Chief Marketing Officer at FP Markets. "Over the past 20 years, every license we've obtained has contributed to the multi-regulated structure we have today. The UAE is a natural addition to that network. Our clients and partners can expect strong standards for security, transparency, and service."
The new approval gives FP Markets a direct regulatory presence in the UAE while adding to its existing oversight in several jurisdictions. The broker also holds licenses from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in Seychelles, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa, and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya.
FP Markets plans to continue expanding its regulatory coverage while investing in its trading infrastructure, technology, and client support operations.
