Forex Capital Markets Limited, the UK subsidiary of the FXCM Group, has changed its name to Stratos Markets Limited.

This becomes apparent from the UK Companies House database. The relevant documents were submitted on September 10, 2023.

The website of FXCM UK has also reflected the change. It displays the following information:

“Stratos Markets Limited is an operating subsidiary within the FXCM group of companies (collectively, the “FXCM Group”). All references on this site to “FXCM” refer to the FXCM Group.

Stratos Markets Limited is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority. Registration number 217689. Registered in England and Wales with Companies House company number 04072877”.

FX News Group has also learnt that the Cyprus-based FXCM business, FXCM EU Ltd, has recently changed its name. The new business name, as indicated by the CySEC register of investment firms, is Stratos Europe Ltd.

Regarding whether or not a full rebranding of FXCM might be ahead, FNG spoke with an official spokesperson at the company who stated to us:

“The name change to Stratos is part of a restructuring of the firm to give us more flexibility. FXCM will continue to operate as a subsidiary of Stratos, similar to how Google operates under Alphabet Inc.”
