FOREX.com – a wholly owned subsidiary of StoneX Group Inc., a publicly traded financial services company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker SNEX – has been named Best CFD Broker – MENA at the 2026 Global Forex Awards – Retail, recognising its continued efforts to deliver a high-quality trading experience tailored to the needs of clients across the Middle East and North Africa.
Now in their eighth year, the Global Forex Awards – Retail commends brokers, fintech companies and trading providers that raise industry standards across areas including trading technology, customer service, platform innovation, market research, education and the overall client experience. The programme spans more than 100 global and regional categories and is determined through verified public voting.
FOREX.com has further broadened its offering through Market Cap CFDs linked to companies including OpenAI and Anthropic, providing traders with exposure to potential changes in pre-IPO valuation expectations.
Together, these additions reflect growing demand for broader market access and greater flexibility as earnings announcements, geopolitical developments and macroeconomic news may increasingly move prices outside traditional trading sessions.
Alongside product expansion, FOREX.com continues to invest in its trading infrastructure, offering award-winning web and mobile platforms, professional-grade charting and analytical tools, integrated market intelligence and a stable environment designed to support active participation across global markets.
In the MENA region, that global capability is complemented by Arabic and English content, local client support, regional market analysis, educational webinars and daily market updates. This localised approach is intended to help clients interpret the relationship between international market movements and the economic, monetary and geopolitical developments most relevant to the region.
Commenting on the recognition, Ritu Singh, Regional Director at FOREX.com, said: “This award reflects the standard of experience we are working to build specifically for clients in the MENA region. Traders here are sophisticated, globally connected and increasingly active across multiple asset classes. Meeting their expectations requires resilient technology, relevant products, timely analysis and support that understands the region. This recognition reinforces our commitment to investing consistently across each of those areas while continuing to evolve alongside our clients and the markets they trade.”
The accolade builds on FOREX.com’s previous industry recognition, including the Most Trusted Broker award at Forex Expo Dubai 2025, and adds to a wider record of awards for its platforms, mobile experience, market range and professional trading capabilities.
As market participation across the Middle East continues to develop, FOREX.com remains focused on combining global infrastructure with regional expertise, expanding the tools, products and insights available to traders while maintaining a consistent emphasis on reliability, transparency and client experience.
