Eurotrader Onboards Exinity’s Martin Couper as Head of Global Compliance

Multi-asset retail broker, Eurotrader has hired Martin Couper, a former executive at forex group Exinity, as its Head of Global Compliance.

Finance Magnates reported that the forex industry veteran, Marcelo Spina, who left ThinkMarkets in January last year to launch Operar FX, joined Eurotrader last week as the new Group CEO.

Couper's LinkedIn profile shows that he joined Eurotrader in May 2022 and has thus been acting in his role for four months now.

The executive until his appointment was the Global Head of Compliance at Exinity. He served the company for four years and nine months.

He joined Exinity in August 2017 and doubled as the General Manager and Head of UK Compliance of the forex group until the new appointment.

Couper said his vision is to help Eurotrader increase its current licenses and strengthen its foundation, according to a media report.

Additionally, he said the retail broker will maintain its position in markets where it is regulated and further its goal of providing a reliable trading environment for its customers.

On his part, Spina noted that Couper’s appointment aligns with the broker's campaign to provide a transparent trading platform to traders.

Before Exinity, the executive was the Senior Manager of Customer Operations at Sydney, Australia-based financial services provider Commonwealth Bank, where he spent nine months.

Between February 2014 and December 2015, he was a Director, Compliance Officer and Money Laundering Reporting Officer, at Amana Financial Services UK Limited.
