Audi

investors access to dozens of international markets through a partnership with
fintech firm GTN.
The broker
launched “Audi Tadawul” at its Riyadh offices on September 30, aiming
the platform at wealthy individuals, institutions, family offices and
corporations. Users can trade equities, ETFs, bonds, currencies, derivatives,
commodities and alternative investments across more than 80 markets.
Audi
Capital holds a securities license from Saudi Arabia's Capital Market
Authority, issued in 2006. The firm offers dealing, arranging, investment
management advisory and custody services under local regulations.

provided the technology backbone for the platform. The fintech company operates
broker-dealer licenses across multiple countries and employs over 500 people in
14 markets. Its investors include IFC, part of the World Bank Group, and SBI

“Our
partnership with Audi Capital represents a powerful step forward in
democratizing access to global markets,” said Damian Bunce, CEO of GTN
Middle East.
The
platform includes real-time market data, charting tools and risk management
features. Investors can access it through web browsers and mobile devices using
a single account.
Saudi
Arabia has been pushing to expand its financial services sector as part of
Vision 2030, the kingdom's economic diversification plan. The government wants
to grow Riyadh as a regional financial hub and attract more international
investment.
Daniel Asmar, CEO of Audi Capital
Daniel
Asmar, CEO of Audi Capital, said the platform “empowers our clients to
invest with speed, precision and confidence in both the Saudi and global
financial markets across various asset classes.”
Audi
Capital has operated in Saudi Arabia for nearly two decades. The firm says it
follows international wealth and asset management standards while complying
with local requirements.
The broker
didn't disclose pricing details, investment minimums or projected client
numbers for the new platform. GTN also didn't specify which of its 14 country
operations would support the Saudi service.
Several
international brokers have expanded in the Gulf region recently as local
regulators ease restrictions and wealthy investors seek portfolio
diversification beyond oil-linked assets.

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.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
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.
