Swiss financial institutions are required to have the
Securities Dealer License in order to offer securities trading facilities
other than FX, and this license now allows MIG BANK to expand its products
portfolio and increase and diversify its trading volumes and revenues to
products such as commodities, indices, options, futures, bonds and equities.
"Obtaining the Securities Dealer License is an additional
reward and recognition of the work and investments we have done at MIG BANK
to become one of the worldwide leaders in Forex trading. Our next objective
is to become also a leader in online trading in all asset classes. For that
purpose we are now planning to expand our activities in Switzerland and
abroad. The Securities Dealer License came at the right time as we are ready
to expand our product portfolio," says MIG BANK CEO Hisham Mansour.
"The Securities Dealer License required some new resources and
further enhancements in terms of processes and controls to enable the Bank to
handle securities trading. We have delivered on the requirements and we are
pleased of this outcome and ready to continue to develop the Bank as a global
player," adds Regis Ducrey, COO/CFO of MIG BANK.
