worked at Scope Markets, initially as Head of Operations and later as Group

departed Tickmill after eight years with the company.

enhance real-time cross-border payment services.
Lastly, CFI Financial Group opened a new office in Bahrain
and appointed Yaseen Alsamerrai as Country Head to lead the operation. The
launch adds to the broker’s growing presence in the Middle East and follows
regulatory approval received earlier this year.
