ThinkMarkets has added a selection of new payment methods for traders in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

This comes after it secured a license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) earlier in the year, enabling it to accept clients from the United Arab Emirates (UEA).

Key Takeaways

ThinkMarkets is one of several brokers expanding its presence in the Middle East, following the likes of Plus500 and M4Markets in obtaining a license from the DFSA.

ThinkMarkets has also set its sights on other popular trading jurisdictions, securing authorization from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA) and New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (FMA).
