What the Category 5 Licence Covers

A Category 5 licence has a more limited scope than a full brokerage authorization.

The UAE entity may carry out approved introductory and promotional activities, but it cannot hold client funds, execute trades or provide custody services locally.

Trading services connected to clients introduced through the UAE operation may therefore be provided by another licensed entity within the companys international structure.

Local Operations to Be Expanded

Moneta Markets plans to expand its local staffing, compliance and governance functions following the approval.

The UAE entity will support the companys relationships with clients and business partners across the Middle East and North Africa. Its local team will also oversee activities conducted under the Category 5 licence and ensure they remain within the authorization granted by the regulator.

UAE Presence Began in 2024

Moneta Markets entered the UAE market in 2024 through an arrangement with a locally regulated financial services company.

It later opened an office in Dubai and expanded its regional team. The new licence allows Moneta Global Financial Services LLC to conduct its own authorized activities under direct UAE regulatory oversight rather than relying solely on a third-party arrangement.

The approval forms part of a broader increase in Category 5 applications from international brokers seeking a regulated marketing and introduction presence in the UAE.
