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.

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.

ATFX Chairman Joe Li highlighted the company’s commitment to providing a world-class trading experience for 

clients in the region.

“With the recent acquisition of Khwezi Financial Services, ATFX boldly charts its path to significant growth in the 

South African market.”

“In addition to competitive spreads, cutting-edge technology platforms, and round-the-clock customer support, ATFX 

aims to cater to the needs of retail clients with a client-centric approach and provide a new source of liquidity in the 

African institutional business.”

“By leveraging our resources and expertise, we aspire to establish as a leader in the industry, offering trading 

opportunities and services ahead, and service a wider range of customers in the African market.”, stated Joe Li.

As a myriad of international accolades ATFX bears witness to, the company prides itself on providing top-notch and 

transparent services to clients from all walks of life.

Since its inception in 2017, ATFX has achieved significant milestones that have set it apart from its competitors.

In 2023, ATFX obtained a Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) license in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 

allowing it to offer an array of financial products to residents.

Moreover, through acquiring Rakuten Securities Australia Pty Limited in the same year, ATFX secured an Australian 

Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) license.

Including the ODP license now, this year ATFX has already acquired 3 more licenses in addition to the recent license 

library FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), FSC (Mauritius), and Seychelles.

These important licenses paved the way for offering secure and regulated trading services to customers across multiple 

jurisdictions.

As evidenced by this latest development in South Africa, ATFX remains committed to expanding its global reach and 

optimizing its offerings in compliance with regional regulations.

Guided by its diligent adherence to local laws and dedication to stringent customer protection measures, the future seems 

promising for ATFX and its clientele not only in South Africa but worldwide.
