And the competition in the region is growing rapidly. This should come as no surprise, given the results, including trading volumes and revenues.

Jordan and the MENA Region Becoming Increasingly Attractive for Brokers

A month ago, Capital.com reported its financial results for the first half of 2025, showing that more than half of its trading volume came from the MENA region. Trading activity during the six-month period exceeded $800 billion (compared with $224 billion in Europe), marking a 54% increase compared with the second half of 2024.

Interestingly, these results were achieved with only about 35,000 traders in the region, half as many as in Europe, yet they opened more and higher-value positions.

Tickmill also reported record volumes in the MENA region last year, up 54% to $135 billion.

As for Jordan, the local market has recently attracted several major players, including ICM.com and Windsor Brokers, while CFI Group has maintained a strong position there for years.

13 Regulated Entities

The company registered its Jordanian entity, Exness Limited Jordan Ltd, with the Companies Control Department under registration number 51905.

The broker, however, has not disclosed the size of its Amman office or local headcount. Exness Group operates 13 regulated offices globally with more than 2,000 employees. The broker, which was founded in 2008, claims over one million active traders globally across its various regulated entities.

The JSC authorization joins Exness's existing licenses from regulators including the Financial Services Authority in Seychelles, the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, and European authorities in Cyprus, Spain, and Germany. The company operates different entities under separate regulatory frameworks depending on jurisdiction.
