Trade Nation Launches Its Regulated Products and Services in Europe

Trade Nation, the global contracts for difference (CFD) provider, has officially launched its regulated products and services in Europe. The rollout operates through a new Portuguese entity regulated by the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM), following the opening of a Lisbon office last year.

European traders can now access Trade Nation's transparent pricing model, which includes zero commission and tight fixed spreads. The platform supports trading in CFDs on global indices, forex, commodities, shares, and bonds via Trade Nation’s web and mobile platforms, as well as TradingView and MetaTrader 4.

Authorisation from the CMVM allows Trade Nation to passport its services into other European markets. The company plans to form key partnerships and strengthen its regional brand presence. Customer onboarding and support will be delivered in native languages.

Luis Dos Santos, CEO of Portugal at Trade Nation, said that Europe is an important region for the firm and that its presence there is expanding alongside its client base. He noted that the number of retail investors in the EU is growing rapidly, a trend the company aims to capitalise on with its intuitive and specialist trading platforms. Dos Santos emphasised that offering services in native languages supports the company's strategy of expanding global reach and putting control back into customers' hands.

Risk Warning

Trade Nation notes that CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 74% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

Founded in 2014, Trade Nation is an award-winning fintech and financial services firm regulated in multiple jurisdictions, including the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority. It has offices in London, Portugal, Sydney, Johannesburg, Seychelles, Malaysia, and The Bahamas. The management team brings over 200 years of cumulative industry experience.
