Exclusive: Eurotrader hires Exinity exec Martin Couper to head Compliance
FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that multi-asset broker Eurotrader has continued to build its senior management team, appointing experienced FX industry compliance executive Martin Couper as its new Head of Global Compliance.
Martin Couper is a director-level compliance professional who has held FCA-approved positions for 10 years. He has managed the authorization process for several companies, including liaising with both UK and overseas regulators. Before joining Eurotrader, Martin spent over 4 years with FXTM / Exinity and prior to that held Compliance Officer and Compliance Director positions with Amana Financial Services and FxPro.
Just last week FNG reported that Eurotrader hired industry veteran Marcelo Spina as its new CEO. Marcelo and Martin spent some time together at Exinity (then known as FXTM) late last decade. We’d also note that Exinity recently added Simon Henry from Capital.com to head Compliance, ahead of Mr. Couper’s departure to Eurotrader.
Founded by Dr. Ozan Ozerk, Eurotrader is CySEC licensed and regulated retail broker in forex, stocks, crypto, indices, and commodities. The group is focused on building a trading community with the modernization of an outdated landscape via the latest innovative technologies and evolving trader needs.
Martin Couper highlighted his future goals within Eurotrader as follows:
“Since joining Eurotrader, I have noticed that everyone is focused on providing the best possible service to our clients. We really are client-centric in all departments. Within an ever-changing regulatory landscape, we will be looking to increase our current licenses and build on the solid foundations already in place. We will always keep the same outlook across all our regulated entries. That is to provide a safe, transparent and reliable trading environment for all our clients.”
Welcoming Martin’s appointment, Marcelo Spina, Eurotrader’s CEO, said,
“We are pleased that Martin Couper has joined the Eurotrader family. His appointment aligns with our ongoing efforts to create a thriving but at the same time well-regulated, trusted, and transparent place to trade. We look forward to witnessing the development, growth, and success our Global Compliance Department will achieve under his leadership. ”
