Global multi-asset broker Exness has officially opened its new state-of-the-art office in Cape Town, marking a major step in strengthening its long-term presence across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Exness, one of the world’s largest brokers, announced the launch as a strategic move to support traders, partners, and fintech innovation in one of the fastest-growing financial hubs on the continent. As South Africa continues to cement its position as a leader in digital finance and technological advancement, Cape Town has emerged as the natural home for Exness’ regional operations.
Cape Town Chosen for Its Innovation and Opportunity
With its thriving ecosystem of start-ups, world-class financial systems, and deep talent pool, Cape Town offers the perfect environment for Exness to scale its African footprint. The new office serves as the company’s central hub for South Africa and the broader SSA region.
It will host local experts who bring on-the-ground insights and ensure that traders benefit from both world-class service and a strong local understanding of the market.
Exness co-founder and CEO Petr Valov reflected on the milestone, saying:
“The opening of our Cape Town office marks a new chapter for Exness, one that involves innovation and regional growth. We see immense potential in SSA and our investment here reflects our confidence in the region’s growth and in the incredible talent driving it.”
Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and High-Octane Celebration
The inauguration brought together Exness executives, partners, and media, who celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, keynote speeches, and a reception that highlighted the company’s expanding footprint in Africa.
The celebrations continued at Killarney International Raceway’s Joubert Pits with the Creators (EX)perience, an adrenaline-fueled event that showcased the precision, performance, and prestige central to the Exness brand. Guests enjoyed a supercar showcase, F1-style pit stop challenges, and a high-intensity racing simulator competition designed to test reflexes in a virtual motorsport arena.
Strengthening Local Impact and Regional Confidence
Exness Regional Commercial Director Paul Margarites emphasized the significance of strengthening the company’s on-the-ground presence:
“By building a strong local presence, we are bringing our global expertise closer to our traders. This office is more than a space; it’s a reflection of our long-term commitment to traders in the region.”
The company’s growing operations in Sub-Saharan Africa are backed by robust regulatory oversight, including a Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) license in South Africa and a Capital Markets Authority (CMA) license in Kenya.
A Future Powered by Local Expertise and Global Technology
With its cutting-edge trading infrastructure and a dedicated regional team, Exness aims to empower African traders with market access, confidence, and reliable, transparent conditions. The new Cape Town office marks a forward-looking step in Exness’ mission to support and innovate within the continent’s rapidly evolving fintech and trading ecosystem.
