SCA vs DFSA. What UAE Traders Should Know
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Entity honesty (July 2026): FxPro is not SCA-licensed for UAE retail. Group licences include FCA 509956 and CySEC 078/07 (verify on public registers). Dubai office: Office 1006, Rolex Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road. Your onboarding entity is the one that binds complaints and leverage.
SCA (Abu Dhabi/Dubai mainland)
Federal regulator for onshore brokers and listed markets. Check SCA register before believing 'UAE licensed' ads.
DFSA (DIFC)
Separate rulebook for firms in Dubai International Financial Centre, different passporting from mainland.
FxPro position
Physical presence in Dubai ≠ SCA or DFSA authorisation. Verify entity name in client agreement.
