Abstract:ICM.com gains UAE SCA license in Dubai, enhancing Middle East presence. Explore how this supports their global expansion strategy in the financial hub.

ICM.com, a leading brokerage brand, has recently acquired its second United Arab Emirates (UAE) license, further cementing its footprint in the Middle East. This move, announced on Tuesday, sees ICM MENA, a subsidiary of ICM.com, secure the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) license in Dubai.
With this new license, ICM.com can now provide promotional and introductory services across the UAE, marking a significant step in its regional growth strategy.
“Global Expansion Strategy” in Action
Shoaib Abedi, CEO of ICM.com, emphasized the importance of this regulatory approval. He said, “Dubai‘s financial ecosystem is one of the most attractive in the world, and this regulatory approval allows us to reach out to the vast client base within the UAE, backed by full compliance with UAE regulations.” Abedi noted that the new license is a critical component of the broker’s “global expansion strategy.”
This new license adds to ICM.coms growing portfolio of regulatory approvals. Besides Dubai, ICM.com is already regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and also holds licenses in Mauritius, South Africa, Switzerland, and Seychelles. This international reach reflects the brand's ambitions to enhance its offshore operations.
Strategic Shifts and Market Expansion
Interestingly, while ICM.com continues to expand in the Middle East, it has opted to exit the UK market. The company relinquished its authorization from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) last year and is in the process of canceling its license. Currently, the UK unit allows onboarding for professional clients only.
Dubais growing appeal as a hub for CFD brokers has been widely recognized. Recent reports show that brokers like XTB and Plus500 have also entered the UAE market with SCA licenses. In addition, other brokerages, such as CPT Markets, INGOT Brokers, and BDSwiss, have secured their SCA licenses in Dubai, marking the city as a burgeoning financial center for global brokerage firms.
