PU Prime review: UAE CMA Category Five license boosts Middle East presence
PU Prime has taken a significant step in its regional expansion strategy after securing a Category Five license from the United Arab Emirates Capital Market Authority, strengthening its regulatory footprint in the Middle East and North Africa.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
According to FNG, the approval reflects the growing importance of the UAE as a hub for global FX and CFD activity and underscores intensifying competition among international trading firms seeking regulated access to the region.
Regulatory approval strengthens UAE presence
The license was granted to PU Prime Financial Services LLC and permits the company to conduct introduction and promotion activities within the UAE. The Capital Market Authority, formerly known as the Securities and Commodities Authority, has emerged as one of the most sought-after regulators in the global FX and CFDs industry over the past year, amid a surge in firms expanding operations across the MENA region.
PU Prime’s UAE operations are led by Ali Afzaal, who joined the company last year from GTCFX and currently serves as Regional Head for MENA and South Asia. His appointment aligns with PU Prime’s broader effort to establish local leadership and deepen engagement with institutional partners, traders, and affiliates across the region.
The CMA license places PU Prime among a growing list of firms recently approved by the UAE regulator, including INFINOX, Pepperstone, XM, Eightcap, Tradeview, and Finalto, highlighting the UAE’s rising status as a regulated gateway to regional and global markets.
Strategic expansion amid regional growth
Industry analysts note that obtaining a CMA license has become increasingly strategic, as firms look to operate within a robust regulatory framework while tapping into strong regional demand for multi-asset trading solutions. The UAE’s regulatory environment offers firms credibility, market access, and proximity to both emerging and established trading communities.
Founded with a focus on global accessibility, PU Prime offers trading across multiple asset classes, including Forex, indices, commodities, and shares, supported by platform infrastructure designed for both retail and professional participants. The company has positioned itself as a technology-driven provider, emphasizing execution quality, educational resources, and regional support.
The new license is expected to support PU Prime’s long-term growth objectives in the Middle East, enabling closer collaboration with partners and expanding brand visibility in one of the industry’s fastest-growing markets.
