Alpari to Migrate Clients from Cyprus to UK

Alpari has just announced that it has decided to move clients from its Cyprus regulated office to its FSA UK operation. Existing clients will have until February 8th 2013 to either close their accounts or open new account with the UK entity and have funds transferred. In its press release, Daniel Skowronski, Chief Executive Officer, Alpari (UK) commented about the financial benefits for clients after the move. It’s worth noting though, that earlier in the month, it was announced that Alpari’s main shareholder, Andrey Dashin was launching a new Cyprus based broker called ForexTime. At the time, it was written that Alpari’s Nigerian website had been rebranded or sold to become ForexTime. Therefore, after shutting down the Alpari Cyprus operation, it may mean that the office and its employees will become part of the new ForexTime broker.
