FNG Exclusive… Continuing one of our key themes witnessed in the Retail FX and CFDs brokerage sector in 2025 – expansion in the MENA region in general and in particular receiving a license to operate in the UAE – FNG has learned that Prima Capital has become the latest broker to become regulated by UAE financial regulator Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA).

The license granted formally to Prima Global Financials LLC is a Category 5 license, allowing for Introduction activities. It was received by Prima Capital on November 13, 2025.

Prima Capital was established in 2023 by longtime OneRoyal executive Ali Marwani (pictured above), as was also exclusively reported at the time here at FNG. The company, managed mainly from Beirut and focused primarily on clients in Arabic language markets, has operated until now as an offshore broker, receiving a license in Mauritius about a year ago.

Prima Capital posted the following note on social media regarding its new SCA license and plans.

PRIMA is officially regulated by FSC and SCA.

We are proud to announce that PRIMA is regulated under:
– Financial Services Commission (FSC) – License No. GB24203697
– Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) – License No. 20200000376

This milestone reflects our commitment to regulatory compliance, transparency, and client protection, and reinforces our vision of operating under the highest international standards.

We thank our partners, clients, and team for their continued trust and support as we continue to expand our regulated global presence.
