Recently, many financial institutions have expanded their clientele to the Middle Eastern region. Through acquiring a license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), Plus500 has joined this group of brokers. The broker announced this on Monday, February 6, 2023.

Details of Plus500 Getting the DFSA License

XTB, MutiBank Group, and Zenfinex are some of the most recent brokers to get the DFSA's approval. Plus500 has joined this league of brokers to increase its offering to its clientele in the UAE.

According to David Zruia, Plus500 CEO, the firm is "elated to have gained the license from the DFSA to provide top-notch technological capabilities to customers in the area." He said the company aims to expand into new areas, create new goods, and strengthen relationships with its clientele.

The CFO of Plus500, Elad Even-Chen, has also reacted to the news of the company's license. In his words, "the broker is happy to have secured this license in the high-growth market of the UAE." He also said that the license provides the broker with a significant, long-term commercial potential to draw in and keep a higher-value clientele.
