“We are glad to launch our offices today in the city of London, the heart of the main global hub for the FX trading business. We would like to officially welcome Richard with us on the team and look forward to make this a great success for our Group.”

Richard Wynn also added:

I am thrilled to be joining the CFI family. It was important for me to be part of a company that not only understands, but adapts to a rapidly changing market. CFI has a strong background and long experience of client service, something akin to my own experience. The London branch gives CFI and its clients some wonderful opportunities.

The move to open a new office at London comes at a time, when most the retail Fx brokers are struggling with the new ESMA regulations which have led to decrease in volumes and client’s additions. With this, CFI looks determined to crack the tough European market and will continue investing in building the brand as customer acquisition cost is rising sharply.
