The move follows leadership changes at Markets.com. Andreas Kyriacou has been appointed Managing Director and CEO of the Cyprus entity, Safecap Investments, which runs the Markets.com brand. The company also holds regulatory licences in South Africa and St Vincent and the Grenadines, and it has not been disclosed who will lead the non-Cyprus entities.

Stylianou joins Markets.com at a time of executive reshuffling. Before this role, he worked at EXCA Prime as Chief Compliance Officer for nearly three years, based in Cyprus.

During this period, he also held other senior positions. He served on the Supervisory Board at DXONE for over three years and was Secretary of the Limassol District Office at the Cyprus Consumers Association for around four years.

Earlier, Stylianou held leadership roles in retail brokerage. At Shares, he served as Chief Executive Officer of the EEA branch for six months and as Director of Regulatory Affairs for one year on a contract basis. He also worked at London Capital Group as Chief Compliance Officer and MLRO for just over a year, and at FOREX.com as Chief Compliance Officer for the Retail OTC Division for nearly a year.

Markets.com, which offers trading across Forex, shares, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies , serves more than 4.7 million traders worldwide. The partnership is intended to improve online transactions by making them faster, simpler, and more secure.

Worldpay, a payments technology provider that processes over 40 billion transactions annually across 146 countries and 135 currencies, will provide the infrastructure to support Markets.com’s trading operations.

Separately, TradingView added Markets.com as a broker on its platform, allowing users to access Markets.com trading features alongside TradingView’s charting tools.
