Leading multi-regulated global brokerage firm INFINOX has announced that it has secured a Fifth Category license for Arrangement and Advice from the UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA), marking a significant milestone in the group’s continued international expansion and long-term commitment to regulatory excellence.

The license has been granted to INFINOX Financial Consultants L.L.C S.O.C, and authorises the firm to conduct financial consultations, introductions and promotion activities in the United Arab Emirates. The license is effective from 21 January 2026 and remains valid until 31 December 2027.

The approval further strengthens INFINOX’s presence in the Middle East and reflects the group’s strategy of operating within robust regulatory frameworks across key global markets. As competition within the online trading and financial services sector intensifies, firms are increasingly judged not only on product breadth and technology, but on governance, transparency and regulatory substance.

Aditya Singh, Head of Product and Strategy, 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 has become a focal point for global financial services firms seeking access to the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, with regulators placing increasing emphasis on consumer protection, governance and market integrity. INFINOX’s CMA license positions the group to support regional partners and clients while aligning with the UAE’s broader ambitions to be a global financial hub.

The development follows a period of continued investment by INFINOX in compliance infrastructure, leadership capability and jurisdiction-specific expertise, as the group focuses on building a resilient, future-ready business model amid evolving regulatory expectations worldwide.
