Traze has announced that it secured the Securities and Commodities Authority’s (SCA) First Category License, granting the Dubai-based trading firm the ability to offer brokerage, portfolio management, and advisory services across the region.
The approval supports its plans to deliver a transparent, technology-driven experience to retail and institutional traders. Operating from its headquarters in Boulevard Plaza Tower 1 in Downtown Dubai, Traze said its efforts remain focused on investor education, regulatory compliance, and user-friendly tools that simplify the investment process.
“Making investing more accessible”
Erkin Kamran, CEO of Traze, commented, “Receiving the SCA First Category License is a testament to our unwavering commitment to creating a trading ecosystem built on trust, transparency, and innovation. This regulatory milestone allows us to further our mission of making investing more accessible and empowering traders with the tools and education they need to succeed.”
The SCA license positions Traze among a select group of firms approved to operate under the UAE’s highest regulatory tier for financial services. The country’s framework, structured around international best practices, continues to attract trading companies drawn to its regulatory clarity and business-friendly infrastructure.
Osama Al Saifi, Managing Director for MENA at Traze, commented, “This is an exciting milestone for Traze and for traders across the UAE and the wider MENA region. With the SCA First Category License, we are uniquely positioned to provide a secure and transparent trading environment that meets the highest regulatory standards. We are committed to supporting traders at every step of their journey, helping them craft their own bespoke portfolios with confidence.”
Traze Holds Licenses in South Africa, Seychelles, and the UK
Traze said the approval not only strengthens its brand in the MENA region but also signals its readiness to scale further in regulated markets. Its approach includes a focus on trader protection, comprehensive market access, and simplified interfaces intended to reduce the learning curve for newer clients.
The company operates under Traze Securities L.L.C. in the UAE and also maintains licenses in South Africa and the Seychelles through related entities. Zeal Capital Market (UK) Limited, its FCA-regulated subsidiary, serves institutional clients and does not offer services to retail clients.
According to the company, maintaining licensing across multiple jurisdictions allows it to adhere to a strict compliance standard that reflects global financial regulations. This multi-license strategy, Traze said, supports operational transparency and offers clients a consistent level of oversight and investor protection.
Traze’s product development strategy remains anchored on giving traders access to a regulated platform that blends security with innovation. Its technology stack includes advanced charting tools, automated strategies, and educational content tailored to a wide range of user experience levels.
The firm added that its next phase of expansion would focus on deepening its presence across the Gulf and introducing additional instruments for diversified portfolio building. In its statement, Traze highlighted that regulatory approval allows the company to engage more directly with the region’s investor base, offering locally relevant support and tailored investment services.
Traze has emphasized that its regulatory achievements are part of a broader objective to create a global financial service offering that meets the expectations of both entry-level traders and professional investors. The company’s approach, it said, relies on maintaining transparency, offering easy-to-understand tools, and building long-term trust with its client base.
