BUX Expands Into Cyprus, Appoints Jean-Raphael Nahas as MD

On Wednesday, Dutch online broker BUX announced the completion of its acquisition of a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF). As a result, it obtained regulatory approval to provide financial services in Cyprus.

The move comes after Brexit as the company focuses on continuing its services to European Union clients. The firm has completed the migration of its European Union CFD customers from the UK subsidiary to Europe.

In addition, BUX plans to expand its CFDs trading services within Europe.
