Breaking: Amana Capital Obtains Lucrative DFSA License

Amana Capital has obtained a license to operate in the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) as a company that is licensed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). The brokerage has established its subsidiary Amana Financial Services (Dubai) Limited, which is incorporated in the federal financial free trade zone and is holding the license.

The move marks a significant milestone for Amana Capital, since the DFSA is known to be one of the toughest regulators in the world with very strict requirements towards brokerages operating with retail clients in the region.

“Obtaining this license and launching the new office in the Dubai International Financial Center will improve our abilities to better satisfy the needs of our customers in the Middle East,” he explained.
