STARTRADER received the Best Fintech Forex Broker award at the Forex Expo Dubai 2026, the ninth edition of the regional trading gathering. The awards were presented by HQMENA during the two‑day event on Sept. 22‑23 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The broker attended the expo as a Global Sponsor, operating booth 161. The stand featured a suspended LED canopy, a curved video wall displaying the STARTRADER brand, NBA and Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East branding, a wall of NBA team logos, a basketball‑column installation, a mascot display, lounge seating and a reception counter.
CEO Peter Karsten delivered a keynote on the risks associated with pre‑IPO trading and later joined a podcast titled “The Edge of Reason: Trading Markets 2027.” He said, “Awards are milestones, not destinations. What this one tells us is that the direction we chose, building around our clients rather than around convention, is the right one.”
STARTRADER offers multi‑asset brokerage through MetaTrader, the STARTRADER app and STAR Copy. The firm cites regulation by entities such as CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA and FSC. In the UAE, the CMA‑licensed entity is limited to Category 5 introduction and promotion activities and does not provide trading, execution, custody or client‑money services.
