Global multi-asset broker Exness has expanded its presence in Africa with the opening of a new regional hub in Cape Town, South Africa. The new office marks a major milestone in the company’s strategy to deepen engagement across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and reinforces its commitment to local talent and long-term growth in the region.
A Regional Hub for Africa
The Cape Town office will serve as Exness’ central base of operations for South Africa and the wider SSA region. The broker currently holds local regulatory licenses in South Africa and Kenya, underscoring its commitment to operating within robust and transparent frameworks.
“We see immense potential in Sub-Saharan Africa, and our investment here reflects our confidence in the region’s growth and in the incredible talent driving it,” said Petr Valov, Co-Founder and CEO of Exness.
The new hub will host professionals with local market expertise, allowing Exness to better serve its growing client base with tailored services and localized support.
“By building a strong local presence, we’re bringing our global expertise closer to our traders,” added Paul Margarites, Regional Commercial Director at Exness. “This office is more than just a physical space—it represents our long-term commitment to empowering traders and fostering innovation in the region.”
Empowering a Dynamic Market
South Africa’s thriving retail trading landscape has attracted growing attention from global brokers, and Exness’ entry further solidifies the country’s role as a key financial hub on the continent.
With a GDP of approximately $400 billion (2024) and a higher-than-average per capita income, South Africa offers fertile ground for financial innovation and digital trading adoption. The new Exness office aims to connect the broker’s global liquidity and advanced infrastructure with the region’s young, tech-savvy trader base.
This move aligns with Exness’ broader efforts to develop and empower South Africa’s growing digital affiliate and partner ecosystem, offering career and partnership opportunities across fintech and financial education sectors.
Strategic Global Expansion
The Cape Town launch follows another key milestone for Exness—the recent opening of its office in Amman, Jordan, extending the company’s footprint across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With regulatory licenses and physical offices in both markets, Exness is strategically reinforcing its global network across high-growth emerging regions.
Both expansions highlight Exness’ long-term focus on regionalization and localized service delivery, ensuring traders benefit from personalized support, regional expertise, and consistent access to world-class trading conditions.
