Neither the firm’s LinkedIn page nor, the report in Financemagnates website has any information regarding Olga’s resignation or transfer to different role or firm. We at theindustryspread.com have reached out to the firm regarding Olga’s role at the firm moving forward, but we are yet to get a reply on same. Prior to her tenure at UGL Exchange which began last year, Alicia served as the compliance officer for forex trading firm FXGlobe for a period of 7 months. And prior to FXGlobe, Alicia was a part of BDSwiss where she served as Head of Back Office for 8 months and was then promoted to Anti-Money Laundering & Compliance Officer role.

Ziomek has been a part of UGL exchange since its debut back in June 2018. The firm is registered and licensed as an investment firm under the regulatory authority of Cyprus more commonly known as CySEC ( The Crypus Securities and Exchange Commission) and specializes in providing brokerage and trading services for Forex assets. While Cyprus is considered as an ideal location by most players in the market for expanding and establishing a business in the European market, it is not easy for firms to succeed in the same. When it comes to FX business and dealer-broker activity, Cyprus has been growing increasingly strict off-late. This is further highlighted by a recent announcement made by CySEC via which it has stated that ESMA CFD and Binary Options rules apply to both EU and Non-EU clients regardless of their home/office location as long as their business is with a CySEC regulated financial firm.
