FP Trading, a global online broker with a growing presence across multiple regions, has opened a new onshore office in Dubai. The move follows the company's receipt of a Category 5 licence from the UAE's Capital Market Authority (CMA) and marks a significant step in its Middle East growth strategy. With this development, FP Trading shifts from serving the region remotely to operating directly within it, backed by local licensing and a physical presence on the ground.
The decision to establish a fully staffed, onshore office reflects a broader shift in how FP Trading approaches the UAE market. Rather than continuing to serve clients and partners remotely, the company will now operate from a local base, allowing it to respond to market needs in real time, build direct relationships, and establish the kind of on-the-ground presence increasingly expected in a region where financial services are expanding rapidly.
A Strategic Hub for the UAE and Wider MENA Region
The new Dubai office is designed to function as FP Trading's regional hub, covering the UAE and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) market. From this base, the company will manage partner relationships, provide client support, and lead market education efforts tailored to the region's trading community.
For FP Trading, the choice of Dubai comes down to proximity and opportunity. The city puts the firm within easy reach of clients and partners across the Gulf, the wider Middle East, and beyond, while giving it a stable regulatory base to operate from. An onshore office also means the team can build relationships in person, understand local market needs first hand, and support partners with the kind of responsiveness a remote setup simply can't match.
What the CMA Licence Means
"This licence and our new Dubai office are an important step for FP Trading in the Middle East," said Narayan. "Being onshore means we can move faster, work closer with our partners, and back our growth in this region with real presence, not just a name on a page."
Part of a Broader Regional Trend
FP Trading's move mirrors a pattern seen across the trading and brokerage industry, as firms increasingly seek onshore licences and physical offices in Dubai to serve UAE and MENA clients directly. The regulatory and competitive environment in the region has made it advantageous for brokers to shift from remote servicing models toward fully licensed, locally staffed operations, reflecting both regulatory expectations and the growing strategic importance of the UAE as a gateway to a larger regional client base.
Looking Ahead
With the Dubai office now open and the CMA licence secured, FP Trading is positioning itself for continued growth across the Middle East. The company has indicated that this expansion is part of a broader strategy to strengthen its regulatory footprint and deepen its regional relationships, alongside its existing licences and operations in other markets around the world.
