GBE Brokers acquires clients of CFDs broker JFD Group

Germany-focused CFDs broker GBE Brokers has announced the acquisition of nearly all clients and intermediary structures of JFD Group Ltd, which operates under the brand JFD Brokers. The asset deal includes client funds in the eight-figure range as well as a four-digit number of accounts. Parts of the existing JFD Brokers team will also move to GBE Brokers.

The transaction expands GBE Brokers' footprint in the German-speaking financial market. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

With the transition, JFD clients will gain access to optimized trading conditions and a broader range of platforms. In addition to MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), GBE Brokers offers TradingView. Key intermediary relationships will be maintained, and German-language support will continue from the broker's Hamburg branch, which provides short communication channels and dedicated contacts.

GBE Brokers emphasized client fund safety: funds are segregated from company assets at Commerzbank AG in Germany, with additional deposit protection up to €300,000 via Lloyd's of London. The broker also noted it is among the highest-rated in the German-speaking region for both retail and institutional clients.

Ben-Florian Henke, owner of GBE Brokers, commented: “Through this transaction, GBE Brokers strengthens its market leadership as a MetaTrader broker in Germany. We are proud to now accelerate our growth through an inorganic transaction as well. This is the largest acquisition in the company’s history.”

GBE Brokers was founded in 2014 and offers access to over 1,000 CFD instruments including forex, metals, stocks, futures, indices, cryptocurrencies, and commodities. It is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under CIF license 240/14, and its Hamburg branch is licensed by BaFin (ID: 10148129).
