Argentex innovative currency risk management and payment solutions are now available in the UAE

Argentex, a UK-based foreign exchange and financial services provider, has expanded its operations to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by establishing an office in the Dubai International Financial District (DIFC).

The company will operate in the region as Argentex (DIFC) Ltd, a fully licensed subsidiary regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). The subsidiary has a Category 3A DFSA license, enabling it to offer comprehensive FX and payment services similar to those provided by its parent company.

This move is part of the company’s broader strategy to grow its international footprint, diversify revenue streams, and tap into the Middle Eastern market. Argentex’s main goals are becoming a more diversified financial services provider, reducing dependency on volatile FX markets, and providing alternative banking and payment solutions globally.

The UAE expansion complements the firm’s existing operations in the UK, Europe, and Australia. It gives Argentex the possibility to reach new client bases while enhancing its offerings and technological capabilities.

“The opening of our subsidiary in Dubai is a huge achievement for Argentex as we enact our expansion plans in the region. We are excited to now offer our exemplary services to a whole new breadth of businesses in the UAE markets and wider region. I very much look forward to working with the talented Argentex (DIFC) Ltd team as we continue to grow.”
