Jan 21 2019

Less than a month after HotForex acquired license to operate in the UAE, the trading services provider gets an authorization by the Financial Conduct Authority of the UK. The UK subsidiary of the HF Markets Group, HF Markets (UK) Ltd., is now authorised and regulated by the FCA under firm reference number 801701.

This is a big step forward for the HF Markets brokerage group, widely known by the trading names HF Markets and HotForex. A FCA license means recognition of legitimacy in the UK financial markets and also provides clients with a further guarantee that they'll be receiving a fair and safe service.

The HF Markets group already has operations in Europe, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and more. Its subsidiaries hold licenses from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and the South African financial regulator, FSCA.

The UK unit of HF Markets brokerage group is already servicing local clients via the website www.hfmarkets.co.uk, which is perfectly operational. The broker offers UK investors trading in more than 150 financial instruments on the latest MetaQuotes’software (MT5) and a choice of three account types with exceptional trading conditions.
