CMC Markets, the publicly listed online trading broker (LSE: CMCX), has partnered with payments platform Paysafe to offer digital wallet services to customers across multiple international markets.

The collaboration brings Paysafe's Skrill and Neteller digital wallets to CMC Markets' trading platform, marking the first time the broker has integrated alternative payment methods beyond traditional banking options. The services will be available to traders in the European Economic Area, southeast Asia, the Middle East and other global markets, though the partnership currently excludes the UK and US.

CMC Markets Adds Paysafe Digital Wallets as Alternative Payment Options

CMC Markets customers can now use either Skrill or Neteller to fund trading accounts across the broker's full range of instruments, including FX, commodities, shares, indices and treasuries. Both digital wallets have operated for more than two decades and built substantial user bases within the forex and trading communities.

The integration allows traders to make both deposits and withdrawals through the digital wallets without processing delays. Funds moved to either Paysafe wallet can then be transferred to bank accounts, cards or other alternative payment methods, or used to fund additional trading positions. This month, MH Markets, a global multi-asset broker, also signed a payment partnership agreement with Paysafe.

"We're delighted to partner with a financial trading broker as prestigious and well-established as CMC Markets, which has over 35 years' industry experience,” said Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe.

For CMC, this marks another innovation, following recent indications from the broker that it is interested in launching tokenized assets, including stocks.

Expansion Plans Include Latin America

Paysafe's digital wallets operate in 130 countries, creating potential for the partnership to expand beyond its initial scope. The companies specifically identified Latin America as a target region for future expansion, along with plans to integrate additional Paysafe alternative payment methods.
