2018 - a Big Year
Last year, BDSwiss appointed Angelos Christofi as its global head of conversions. That appointment was made at a time when brokers within the European Union (EU) were struggling to keep their clients, following regulations implemented by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
2018 was a major year for BDSwiss as the company took steps to expand its operations both in Europe and in the overseas market. The company first stepped in the Asian market by opening an office at Kuala Lumpur followed by the launch of a new trading academy to educate traders
The brokerage firm also made an entry into mobile trading to meet the growing market demand in the sector.
Earlier this month, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC ) flagged two websites belonging to foreign exchange (Forex ) related firms that it believed to be suspicious as one copied BDSwiss website and is operating as a clone of the firm.
