In today’s rapidly changing global markets, how can brokers earn investors’ trust through solid technology and strict compliance standards? And what opportunities and challenges does the emerging Middle Eastern market present for the industry?
WIKIFX recently interviewed Mark Tsang, Chief Strategy Execution Officer of Amillex. As a broker with a decade of industry experience and holding a respected Australian ASIC license, Amillex is committed to making trading more transparent, safer, and more efficient.
Q: Could you briefly introduce Amillex’s history and business presence? What are your key markets and services?
Amillex was founded in Australia and has spent the past ten years in the fintech space. Our headquarters is in Sydney, and our business has expanded to key markets including China, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, and Africa.
Over the past decade, we have focused on providing global institutions and brokers with one-stop services, including liquidity provision, CRM systems, compliance licensing consultation, white-label solutions, and risk management.
Our core team comes from leading international financial institutions and trading platforms, bringing rich experience and a strong reputation in the industry. With solid technology and a professional team, Amillex has gradually built a comprehensive financial ecosystem that integrates trading technology, compliance, and client services.
Q: What role or mission do you see Amillex playing in today’s global financial ecosystem?
Australia has some of the world’s strictest financial regulations. Being licensed by ASIC demonstrates our strength in capital, compliance, and corporate governance.
This not only validates our operational and risk management capabilities but also positions Amillex to operate sustainably under the world’s toughest regulatory standards.
After obtaining our license, we opened our services to both individual and institutional clients worldwide. Our goal is to bring institutional-level liquidity technology, risk management expertise, and trading infrastructure to everyday traders, providing them with the same high-quality trading experience.
Our mission is to make trading transparent, safe, and efficient. To support this, we offer up to $1.5 million in professional indemnity insurance per trade, giving investors extra peace of mind. At the same time, we continually optimize trade execution and client support to ensure a stable, fair, and low-latency trading environment for all users.
Q: How does Amillex differentiate itself in terms of products, technology, and client experience?
Our biggest advantage lies in flexible innovation and efficient execution. On the product side, we integrate AI and proprietary systems to create a high-performance, scalable technology framework, making liquidity distribution, risk management, and reporting smarter and more automated.
Compared to many traditional platforms, our decision-making is simpler and more agile, enabling us to respond quickly to market changes and client needs. This flexibility boosts efficiency for both partners and traders and allows us to stay ahead in volatile markets.
We also prioritize client experience at every stage—from onboarding and trading to post-trade support—focusing on speed, transparency, and trust. We continuously optimize execution speed, quote stability, and customer support to provide an institutional-grade trading experience.
For partners, Amillex offers significant advantages. Introducing brokers (IBs) can set commission rates, manage multi-tier partnerships, and enjoy flexible promotion and revenue models. As a liquidity provider with direct access to international banks and hedge funds, we deliver competitive spreads and pass on more commission opportunities to our partners.
This combination of flexibility and professionalism makes Amillex a top choice for IBs, MIBs, and institutional brokers, enabling technology-driven collaboration and shared success.
Q: With rising trading volumes and increasing technical complexity, what are the biggest challenges to trade security, and how does Amillex protect client funds and data?
As markets grow and algorithmic and automated trading proliferate, the industry faces new challenges in fund security, data protection, and execution transparency.
From a systems perspective, complex trading architectures introduce more potential risks such as cyberattacks, data breaches, and execution delays. From a market perspective, dispersed liquidity and high-frequency strategies raise concerns about trading safety and fairness.
Amillex puts security and transparency first, building a multi-layered protection system at both technical and compliance levels:
- Fund Security: All client funds are segregated in top-tier international bank accounts, ensuring traceability. Every trade is covered with $1.5 million insurance, and third-party audits regularly verify fund transparency.
- Data & System Security: Our platform uses 256-bit SSL encryption and multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Servers are housed in international-grade data centers with firewalls and intrusion detection systems, continuously monitored and backed up. Internal access follows the principle of least privilege to ensure data is only used for compliance purposes.
- Execution & Risk Management: AI-powered monitoring and real-time risk systems detect abnormal trades and provide early warnings. All orders are executed at real market prices, avoiding conflicts of interest.
We believe true security is more than technology—it’s a responsibility and culture. Guided by Australian regulatory standards, Amillex continuously invests in innovation to provide a transparent, fair, and secure trading environment.
Q: What unique advantages or challenges does the Middle East, particularly Dubai, present in terms of regulation and compliance?
Dubai is increasingly becoming a key global financial hub. Its regulatory environment has regional characteristics while balancing international standards.
On the positive side, Dubai offers open financial policies and clear regulatory frameworks. Authorities like the DFSA and ADGM are actively promoting fintech, digital assets, and CFD industry standardization, providing an inclusive and orderly environment for international brokers.
Dubai’s diverse financial ecosystem attracts professional investors from Europe, Asia, and Africa, making it a global nexus for capital and liquidity. This international atmosphere supports compliance and cross-border cooperation but also demands that brokers meet high regulatory standards.
Challenges exist as well. The Middle Eastern market is still evolving, and regulatory rules differ across regions. Brokers must be adaptable and maintain strong internal governance. With the rise of digital assets and leveraged products, balancing innovation and compliance remains critical.
At Amillex, we follow a “global standards, local compliance” approach. Drawing on our Australian regulatory experience, we established anti-money laundering procedures, client suitability assessments, and multilingual compliance support to meet local requirements while maintaining international service quality.
We believe Dubai will play an increasingly important role in global finance. Amillex is ready to leverage our expertise in compliance, liquidity, and technology to contribute to a healthy, sustainable Middle Eastern market.
Q: Have investors in the Middle East shown an increased demand for transparency, such as in trade execution, fund protection, and platform history? What does this mean for the industry?
Yes, Middle Eastern investors now expect greater transparency—a trend seen globally. As investors become more sophisticated and information more accessible, they care more about whether trade execution is public, funds are protected, and platform history is verifiable.
This aligns perfectly with Amillex’s strengths. Operating under strict Australian regulations for a decade, we adhere to principles of compliance, transparency, and verifiability. Our platforms provide historical records, execution reports, and fund custody information that clients can view and verify.
Being a liquidity provider with direct partnerships with banks and hedge funds, our spreads, order execution, and clearing processes are naturally transparent and traceable. Our goal is for every investor, whether in the Middle East, Asia, or Europe, to trade in a fair and transparent environment.
From an industry perspective, transparency is becoming a core competitive advantage. Platforms that prioritize disclosure, enforce regulations rigorously, and build trust will thrive globally. Amillex will continue to lead in promoting a more transparent and compliant trading environment.
