INFINOX wins UAE Capital Market Authority Category 5 license

Multi-regulated global brokerage firm INFINOX says it has obtained a UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA) Fifth Category license for Arrangement and Advice. The approval is a key step in the group’s international growth plans and its focus on strong regulatory standards.

The CMA issued the license to INFINOX Financial Consultants L.L.C S.O.C. It allows the firm to provide financial consultations and carry out introductions and promotional activities in the United Arab Emirates. The license takes effect on January 21, 2026, and runs through December 31, 2027.

INFINOX said the approval builds on its Middle East presence and supports its approach of operating under well-established regulatory frameworks in major markets. With competition rising across online trading and financial services, brokers are judged on more than product choice and platform features. Governance, transparency, and regulatory depth matter more than ever.

Aditya Singh, Head of Product and Strategy at INFINOX, said:

“Securing this license from the UAE Capital Market Authority is an important step in the evolution of our business. It reflects our long-standing belief that sustainable growth in financial services must be built on strong regulation, local engagement and institutional-grade standards. The UAE is a strategically important market for us, and this approval allows us to deepen relationships in the region in a responsible and compliant way.”

The UAE continues to attract global financial services firms looking to serve the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Regulators in the region have also increased their focus on consumer protection, governance, and market integrity. INFINOX said the CMA license helps it support clients and partners in the area while aligning with the UAE’s goal of becoming a leading global financial hub.

The announcement comes as INFINOX continues to invest in compliance systems, leadership capacity, and local market expertise, as regulatory expectations change across jurisdictions.
