FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Auckland, New Zealand based Retail FX and CFDs broker Blackbull Markets is taking steps to expand its footprint in the MENA region, hiring Waleed Salah as Head of Arabic Office.
The Egypt-based Mr. Salah joins Blackbull Markets from Australia based VantageFX, where he had a similar role. Prior to VantageFX Waleed Salah worked for a number of years for now-bankrupt USGFX as their Middle East Director. He has also worked for ATFX, RoboForex and FBS.
Last summer BlackBull Markets received a Derivatives Issuer license in its home country from New Zealand’s financial regulator, the FMA. BlackBull was founded in 2014 by Managing Director Michael Walker, and had operated since then as a registered (but unlicensed) financial services provider in the country. BlackBull also has an offshore, Seychelles incorporated entity.
