Interactive Brokers Expands Market Access to Include UAE Stock Trading

Automated global electronic broker Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR) today announced the official launch of UAE stock trading services through two leading exchanges in one of the world's fastest-growing economic regions. Interactive Brokers' global clients can now trade via the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and Dubai Financial Market (DFM). This enables investors in the region to trade both local and international market stocks through a single platform, while global investors can build diversified portfolios across various asset classes and geographies, including the growing Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

Serving a global client base, Interactive Brokers is uniquely positioned to help individual and institutional investors worldwide—including those in the Middle East—achieve their financial goals. The addition of UAE stock trading further expands Interactive Brokers' market access and creates more investment opportunities for both local and global investors. Interactive Brokers supports funding and trading in up to 28 currencies, including the UAE Dirham. International clients can deposit funds in their local currency and convert them into UAE Dirhams at competitive foreign exchange rates for trading.

Milan Galik, CEO of Interactive Brokers, said: "As market participants seek new investment opportunities globally, the addition of UAE stock trading allows both local and international investors to participate in the economic growth of this dynamic region, while also trading products from over 160 other markets worldwide on the same platform. This announcement, together with our newly established office in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), underscores our growing presence in the Middle East and reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding unparalleled market access for active global traders and institutional investors. We are honored to have recently been named the Best Investment Account in the UAE by the 2025 Good Money Guide Awards."

Existing clients can begin trading UAE stocks immediately through their current Interactive Brokers accounts. Prospective clients can open an account in just a few minutes and gain access to trading rights across more than 160 global exchanges through a unified platform.
