ATFX Acquires Khwezi Financial Services a licensed ODP in South Africa

<p>ATFX, a leading online trading services provider, is proud to announce the recent acquisition of a licensed ODP (Over-the-Counter Derivative Provider) in South Africa following the successful purchase of Khwezi Financial Services, which is regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). This strategic move further solidifies ATFX's global presence and strengthens its position as a key player in the online trading industry.</p><p>The Over-the-Counter Derivatives Provider (ODP) license, granted by the FSCA under Financial Markets Act no.19 of 2012, enables financial service providers to legally offer over-the-counter derivatives, such as contracts for difference (CFDs). As a result, ATFX can now provide South African clients access to various financial instruments and offer comprehensive trading services as an ODP.</p><p>ATFX Chairman Joe Li highlighted the company's commitment to providing a world-class trading experience for clients in the region.
