Meanwhile, Scope
Markets has announced the appointment of Fraser Nelson as the new Global
Head of Business Development. Nelson, who has over ten years of experience in
leveraged trading, will manage the company's global growth strategies in the
retail sector. His expertise spans both front and back-office roles.
This new account aims
to attract experienced retail traders by allowing users to follow and automate
trades from more skilled investors. Alongside this, HFM is adding the Japanese
yen as a new base currency and enhancing features for African traders.
The Pro Account builds on HFM's existing copy trading tool,
HFcopy, and provides additional options for strategy providers. While the
announcement suggests that HFM's copy trading service is similar to those
offered by other brokers, Finance
Magnates sought clarification from Chrystanthos Kanari, HFM's Head of
Marketing.
Kanari confirmed that the introduction of the Japanese yen and the
expanded features for South African and Kenyan investors are key components of
this update.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.
