Rasmus Bagger, the company's CCO, will be responsible for local operations.
The move comes when Dubai and the UAE are rapidly developing as a fintech hub.
United
Fintech, the financial technology company headed by Christian Frahm, has
announced the opening of its new office in the Dubai International Financial
Centre (DIFC). This expansion into the UAE is a response to the market demand
for financial technology and underscores the country's critical role as a hub
for fintech innovation.
United Fintech Expands
Global Presence into UAE
As an
industry-neutral digital transformation platform, United Fintech enables banks
and financial institutions to accelerate access to innovative
fintechs specializing in capital markets. The company's mission is to drive
digital innovation, offer transformative solutions, and enhance the
capabilities of financial institutions worldwide.
Christian Frahm, Founder & CEO at United Fintech
"Expanding
into the DIFC marks a strategic advancement for United Fintech, broadening the
global footprint of our industry-neutral Digital Transformation platform and
meeting the growing demands of the financial services industry,” Christian
Frahm, the CEO of United Fintech, commented.
Rasmus
Bagger, the CCO of United Fintech, will be responsible for the Dubai office overall. The fintech company entered Middle East when the financial technology industry has experienced a global slowdown, but in the UAE, it has seen a 92% surge.
"This
is a significant opportunity for United Fintech and we are excited about
growing our client base and team in the region and playing a major role in
connecting Financial Institutions with cutting-edge technology providers, all
under a single platform,” Bagger commented.
At the
beginning of this month, United Fintech announced that Danske Bank had joined
its institutional investors, following earlier support from BNP Paribas and
Citigroup.
Early Successes in UAE
United
Fintech's establishment in the DIFC has garnered interest from across
the region, particularly for its partner company Athena, known for its full
front-to-back Order Management System (OMS) and Portfolio Management System
(PMS) solution.
This OMS/PMS
solution provides a complete platform for investment managers, supporting
various functions from decision-making to trade execution and post-trade
processing.
"United
Fintech's establishment in the DIFC is significantly broadening Athena's
horizons, enhancing our ability to extend our services to drive technical
transformation and enhance the operating models of asset managers and hedge
funds in the region,” commented Raj Rathor, the Head of EMEA Sales at Athena.
Founded in
2020, United Fintech has grown to employ over 160 people across eight
countries, including the UK, Denmark, Spain, and the USA.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
