Wait 5 sec.

The United Kingdom-based unit of FXOpen and its subsidiaries generated £670,642 in revenue for 2024, a yearly increase of 5.3 per cent. The company also managed to narrow its losses significantly to £266,648 from £768,267.“The parent company's main source of revenue is commission charged based upon the volume of trades carried out by the company's clients,” FXOpen UK noted in its latest Companies House filings.Other Income Sources Reduced the LossesThe UK company also generated £302,592 from other operating income, with an additional £30,838 from interest.Administrative expenses remained almost the same as the number of company personnel did not change. There were three management staff and seven administrative staff at the broker. The total remuneration to them increased by 17.6 per cent.Although the company mentioned that trading volumes in 2024 remained similar to the previous year, it did not reveal any absolute number or other comparative figure.“The results for the year and the financial position at the year end represent tough market conditions,” the filing added. “The high levels of living expenses, inflation and interest rates skewed consumer behaviour, as many customers limited their deposit levels as a result, negatively affecting the entire market landscape.”Focus Is on ExpansionThe brokerage operator further stated that its strategy will be to expand its client base in the UK and the rest of the world. It will use subsidiaries in Cyprus and the UAE for expansion efforts as well.The UK unit holds 95 per cent of the Cypriot unit and 100 per cent of the UAE unit.FXOpen also operates globally with an offshore unit registered in the Caribbean islands. However, operations from that division appear to be separate from the UK parent.Furthermore, the broker lost its Australian licence last year. While cancelling the licence, the Australian regulator pointed out that it had identified serious concerns about the local unit of FXOpen, particularly the “inadequacy of its human resources to provide financial services and to carry out supervisory arrangements.”This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.
