YWO Debuts at iFX EXPO Dubai with Dualand B2C Offers

The floor of the iFX EXPO often dictates the direction of the fintech industry for the coming year.

When the doors open in Dubai between February 10-12, 2026, YWO will make its debut appearance (Booth No. 225) with a clear focus on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and North African markets. The company arrives with a strengthened regulatory portfolio, a mandate to expand its partner network, and two distinct expo-exclusive offerings designed to demonstrate its commitment to the region.

This appearance marks a strategic shift for the brokerage, moving from a quiet development phase into active market expansion. The timing coincides with the company securing an Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer, Excluding Underwriting) License from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. This new regulatory status provides the governance framework necessary to engage with institutional partners and investors in the Middle East.

Strategic Focus on the GCC
The Middle East requires a specific approach to financial services, where partners prioritize personal relationships and technical reliability over aggressive marketing. YWO has structured its debut to address these preferences directly. The company will present an exclusive partnership ecosystem designed for Introducing Brokers (IBs) and affiliates operating professional and high-volume networks.

In true YWO fashion, the program is commercially competitive and transparent. The Gulf market has matured, and traders are no longer impressed by generic bonus schemes. They demand execution speed, asset diversity, and brokers holding reputable licenses. YWO enters the expo floor to demonstrate how its proprietary technology meets these technical demands while offering commercially sustainable value propositions to its partners.

Expo Exclusive: The iFX Partnership Bonus
Central to YWO’s presence in Dubai is a high-impact B2B incentive: The iFX Partnership Bonus. Recognizing that February is a pivotal month for setting annual targets, YWO is offering a performance-based commercial incentive to partners who hit the ground running.

The mechanism is straightforward: Eligible Affiliates who secure 20 First Time Deposits (FTDs) in February may unlock an additional 1,000 USD bonus, subject to the applicable terms and conditions. This offer invites partners to test the portal’s efficiency immediately: earning standard RevShare and commissions across all instruments while qualifying for the incentive. The bonus is designed as a partner reward mechanism and does not constitute a client trading incentive. It serves as a challenge to the region’s networks: drive volume, test the infrastructure, and maximise February earnings.

Powered by YWO Connect: Institutional Grade Infrastructure

This new bonus operates on the rails of the established YWO Connect ecosystem. Unlike rigid partner programs, YWO Connect was built as a flexible system that adapts to the specific business models of its partners: a crucial feature for MENA networks that operate differently from their European counterparts.
The program features a clear, tiered structure ranging from Starter to Institutional levels, rewarding partners for qualified and compliant traffic. It offers performance-based payouts ranging from USD 50 to USD 500, contingent on deposit size and the trading volume generated within the first 30 calendar days. This model ensures that partners are compensated fairly for the quality of business they introduce, in line with YWO’s internal compliance and risk standards.

Retail Clients Expo Exclusive: The iFX Bonus Boost
To celebrate its debut in Dubai, YWO is not limiting offers to partners. There is also a time-limited promotional incentive for eligible retail clients: The iFX Bonus Boost. Recognizing that new clients often wish to test execution quality before committing significant capital, this offer provides a promotional trading credit of up to 100% on deposits, subject to applicable terms and conditions.

The promotion allows traders to access additional promotional trading credit, enabling them to explore YWO’s swap-free trading environment and low-latency execution, without implying increased profit potential or reduced trading risk. Bonus funds are provided strictly as trading credit and are not withdrawable, and any profits generated are subject to the applicable bonus rules. This offer is valid until February 28, 2026, and is designed to support platform familiarisation rather than incentivise excessive trading behaviour.

By combining this incentive with a zero-fee policy on deposits and withdrawals (subject to third-party charges), YWO signals its intent to competitively position its offering in the region following the expo, in line with responsible marketing practices and applicable regulatory guidance.

Regulatory Confidence as a Growth Driver
The recent addition of the Mauritius FSC license serves as a cornerstone for this expansion. It sits alongside existing authorizations from the FSCA in South Africa and MISA in Comoros. This multi-jurisdictional approach allows YWO to onboard clients in accordance with applicable cross-border regulatory requirements while maintaining strict compliance standards.

Institutional partners in the UAE and Saudi Arabia conduct rigorous due diligence. The FSC license signals that YWO adheres to international standards regarding capital adequacy and anti-money laundering protocols. While regulatory authorisation does not eliminate trading risk, it provides a recognised governance baseline that professional counterparties and partners typically require before engaging with a brokerage.

YWO does not solicit or onboard retail clients in jurisdictions where it is not authorised to do so, and all promotional offers are subject to eligibility criteria, local regulatory restrictions, and internal compliance approval.

Building a Physical Presence
Digital presence is rarely enough in the Arab world: face-to-face interaction drives business. The YWO team will use the iFX EXPO as a hub to initiate long-term relationships. Senior executives will be on the ground at Booth No. 225 to discuss tailored solutions with interested parties.

The company views this event as the first step in a broader regional strategy. The goal is to establish local support mechanisms that speak the language and understand the culture. This debut is an invitation to established networks in the region: YWO is open for business and ready to support high-volume traffic.

Technology Meets Local Demand
The GCC region has seen a surge in demand for diversified asset classes. YWO responds to this by offering a wide range of CFDs on commodities, indices, and currencies, subject to product availability, client classification, and jurisdictional eligibility. The platform architecture supports efficient order execution, which is vital for the volatile nature of these markets.

The company also recognizes the growing sophistication of retail traders in the region. Education and analysis are key components of the offering. YWO supports its partners by providing high-quality compliance approved content designed to assist with client engagement and retention, where permitted. The content provided is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. This creates a sustainable ecosystem where the broker, the partner, and the client all benefit from long-term engagement.
