co-founded a new brokerage venture called Azul Markets. The company is licensed
by the Financial Services Commission in Mauritius.

international brokerage, until his departure in 2023. His involvement in Azul

Mauritius Draws Another FX Industry Veteran
Mauritius continues to attract new financial startups,
including ventures led by experienced figures in the FX/CFD industry. Last year,
Bartosz Bielec—former Director and Board Member at Admirals (formerly Admiral
Markets) and ex-Chief Commercial Officer at Alpari—co-founded a new trading
business called Prime Quotes.
Prime Quotes reportedly secured regulatory licenses in three
jurisdictions, including South Africa. In addition to its core offering of contracts for difference, the company announced plans to launch a digital asset
exchange.
The company first obtained a license in Saint Lucia, a
jurisdiction gaining traction among offshore FX/CFD brokers. This was followed
by regulatory approval from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority in
South Africa. In May 2024, PrimeQuotes Markets Ltd., registered in Mauritius,
added a third license to its portfolio.
Of the three, the South African license is seen as the most
strategic, positioning Prime Quotes to expand its footprint across the
continent, where FX and CFD services are gaining momentum.
