PipDig adheres to strict guidelines to preserve editorial integrity to help you make decisions with confidence. Some of the reviews and content we feature on this site are supported by affiliate partnerships from which this website may receive money. This may impact how, where and which companies / services we review and write about. Our team of experts works to continually re-evaluate the reviews and information we provide on all the top Forex / CFD brokerages featured here.
The brokers below hold a registration in the United Arab Emirates according to our research records. They are grouped by what has actually been confirmed: a registration checked against the public register of the DFSA, the FSRA and the SCA on a stated day comes first, then registrations recorded but not yet checked, then registrations carrying a register status this site does not interpret, then any the register shows as no longer current.
Who is on this page: Every broker record holding a registration in the United Arab Emirates (AE), whether or not it has been checked against the register yet.
Ordered by how much of the broker's own published terms we have checked, then alphabetically — this is not a quality ranking.
0 of the 198 broker records we hold qualify for this page.
Nothing to list here yet
No broker in our records holds a registration in the United Arab Emirates yet. That is a statement about our records, not about the market: we publish this page empty rather than filling it with brokers licensed somewhere else.
The DFSA regulates firms in the Dubai International Financial Centre, the FSRA regulates Abu Dhabi Global Market, and the SCA regulates onshore UAE. All three are legitimate; the relevant question is which one your specific account is opened under.
They are widely offered but not automatic — most brokers require you to request Islamic status. Check whether the broker replaces the swap with an administration fee, which can be more expensive than the swap on positions held long term.
The UAE does not levy personal income tax on individuals, so retail trading profits are generally untaxed. Corporate tax may apply if you trade through a company. This is general information, not tax advice.
Two dated sources sit behind this page: our research records of each broker's registrations, and the pages the broker publishes itself. How much of that was confirmed on a regulator's own public register is counted in the paragraph below, from the registrations this page actually prints — the label beside each one says which it is. Which entity a UAE-resident client is assigned to is a separate fact our records do not yet hold. The administration fee a broker may charge in place of the swap on a swap-free account is not a field on the records we receive at all, so no figure for it appears here or on the swap-free page — ask the broker for it before you open one.
Our research hub holds 198 broker records for this site. No regulatory registration is listed on this page. Where a date is old, treat the figure as old — brokers change pricing and licences without telling us.
Dubai has real regulatory depth now. The detail that trips people up is the administration fee attached to swap-free accounts — price it over your typical holding period.
