ATFX, an online trading broker dealing in Contract for Differences (CFDs), has unveiled plans to acquire Rakuten Securities Australia (RSA), a branch of Rakuten Securities.

The acquisition will enable ATFX to tap into Rakuten Securities Australia’s established customer base and leverage the expertise of its seasoned industry professionals, bolstering its position in the Australian market as well as globally.

ATFX’s core mission – offering clients a comprehensive suite of trading services, advanced technology, and superior customer support – aligns perfectly with this acquisition. As ATFX garners a wider client base via Rakuten Securities Australia, the firm is expected to provide a seamless trading experience with its robust platforms and diverse trading instruments like forex, indices, and commodities.

Rakuten Securities Australia’s clients are also poised to benefit from this transition, gaining access to ATFX’s broader product range and robust trading infrastructure. ATFX’s dedication to delivering a client-centric experience will ensure a smooth transition for both new and existing clients.

ATFX prides itself on its commitment to high regulatory standards, and as part of its global expansion, the company will continue to uphold these standards. ATFX is well-regulated by multiple prestigious regulatory bodies, including the FCA in the UK, CySEC in Cyprus, SCA in UAE, FSA in Mauritius, and with this acquisition, now the ASIC in Australia.

Joe Li — ATFX Chairman said: “We are thrilled to welcome RSA into the ATFX family. This acquisition presents a significant opportunity for us to expand our presence in the Australian market and provide clients in the region with enhanced trading solutions. We are committed to investing in technology, talent, and resources to ensure that our clients receive the highest level of service.”

The acquisition of Rakuten Securities Australia will proceed in compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements, safeguarding a smooth transition for clients and stakeholders.
