AAAFx’s latest award helps propel the brand to the top of retail trading in Asia-Pacific.
AAAFx, an EU and South Africa-regulated Forex and CFD broker, has been crowned ‘Best CFD Broker - APAC’ at the UF AWARDS APAC 2023 ceremony. The company emerged victorious among the multitude of industry-leading participants in the ‘Broker Awards’ category.
This accolade is a testament to AAAFx’s commitment to high-quality financial services and best customer experience by providing seamless access to multiple markets and best bid-ask pricing. The award was presented in front of the fintech elite present at iFX EXPO Asia within an exclusive ceremony following the grand event.
“Winning the ‘Best CFD Broker - APAC’ award is a great achievement for AAAFx. As we continue to ramp up our offering in Asia-Pacific, this recognition is a vivid proof of our local clients and partners’ trust in our services and a validation of our sustained efforts to provide the best service and user experience,” said Somesh Kapuria, Head of Business Development, AAAFx Global.
This title follows close on the heels of other distinctions AAAFx received throughout the year, including ‘Best CFD Broker - MEA’ and ‘Best Forex Spreads Africa’. Building on 2022’s legacy, when it emerged as the ‘Most Trusted Broker’ and the ‘Best FX Service Provider,’ the company seems to have laid the path for global growth.
“We are proud to be regarded as the ‘Best CFD Broker - APAC’. This win puts us in a stronger position in the region, bringing us closer to our clients in Asia-Pacific. It marks a great achievement, proving that AAAFx is the best choice for traders worldwide,” said Gurbir Singh, Head of Business Development, AAAFx.
After conquering the Middle East and Africa, AAAFx makes waves in Asia-Pacific with its Forex and CFD offering. The broker provides exposure to 70 Forex pairs and over 200 CFDs on Stocks, Indices, Commodities, Metals and Cryptocurrencies across its MT4 and MT5 platforms.
In addition to its array of instruments, the broker also distinguishes itself from other market players with its offering of various ECN account types, raw spreads and competitive leverage.
What’s more, the relatively recent launch of its ‘Zero Commission’ account type – ECN Plus – raises the bar for high-end trading services. This account type allows traders to reap the benefits of zero-commission trading alongside razor-thin spreads, at no mark-up and ultra-fast execution.
Licensed by multiple regulatory bodies, including the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), the broker counts among the most trustworthy financial market players in Europe and worldwide.

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.
