Admirals surrenders Estonia license as part of restructuring plan
The company, which is licensed in the Seychelles, UK, Cyprus, South Africa, Australia, Jordan, Canada, and Kenya, has recently surrendered its Estonia license as part of its restructuring plan.
FX brokerage firm Admirals (formerly Admiral Markets) has announced its intention to merge with its Estonian subsidiary, Admirals Markets AS. The anticipated completion of the merger is set for the first half of 2024.

Despite the ongoing restructuring, Estonia remains a crucial strategic location for Admirals Group. The company reaffirms its commitment to the country by maintaining its headquarters in Tallinn, where it currently employs over 100 professionals. Additionally, Admirals Group’s lending platform, MoneyZen, will remain regulated by the Estonian financial authority.
