Samtrade also announced securing an Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence from the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC).
With the FCA and AFS authorisations, Samtrade can now provide regulated financial services in Europe and Asia.

The company is also regulated by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) as a Money Services Business (MSB).
Since incorporation, ensuring trust and confidence in every trade has been central in everything that we do. These added layers of regulation – on top of the existing licences that Samtrade FX already holds, reinforces our commitment toward setting the highest possible standards in corporate governance, trading experience, and client satisfaction. It also enhances SamAideTM, which offers robust fund security for clients to trade with a peace of mind.
Samtrade was established in 2015 and since then it has expanded its operation across Europe, Southeast Asia and Greater China.
