Finalto, an award-winning multi-asset liquidity provider and fintech specialist, is pleased to announce that it has been granted a Category 5 licence by the UAE Securities & Commodities Authority (SCA). This significant milestone further strengthens Finalto’s global regulatory framework and reinforces the company’s commitment to serving professional and institutional clients in one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-growing regions.

Finalto combines global reach with deep local expertise, delivering flexible solutions that seamlessly connect institutions to global markets. The group has built its reputation on providing outstanding trading and risk-management capabilities, supported by teams of specialists across major international financial centres.

As Finalto continues to evolve as a globally recognised and highly regulated financial services leader, the addition of the UAE SCA Category 5 licence marks a key step in its strategic expansion. The licence enables the firm to enhance its presence across the Middle East while offering clients in the region a trusted and transparent partner.

Conor Canny, CEO Finalto MENA, commented: “Securing the Category 5 licence is a major milestone for Finalto in the Middle East. It allows us to deepen our commitment to the UAE by facilitating clients access to our global liquidity and technology solutions. The UAE is an innovation-driven financial hub, and we are excited to support clients here with the highest standards of service, transparency and governance.”

Paul Groves, UK CEO at Finalto, added: “This licence reflects our continued investment in global growth and regulatory strength. The UAE is a key strategic market for us, and this development allows our teams to deliver even greater value to clients across the region. We look forward to expanding our partnerships and offering access to tailored, multi-asset solutions that meet the evolving needs of institutions operating in this dynamic landscape.”
