Read our brief overview of international forex broker, Alpari before you trade.
An established global brokerage, Alpari was first founded in Russia in 1998. Over the years, it has expanded its operations in new regions and markets, winning various awards along the way. The company offers CFD trading on a range of different asset classes, including forex, commodities, metals, stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies, while its Alpari Rewards loyalty programme rewards clients as they trade.
Having said that, Alpari has a chequered past, with its licence being revoked in multiple jurisdictions at various points in its history, including CySEC (2012), NFA (2015), FCA (2018), CBR (2019). Added to this, in 2010 the broker’s UK entity was fined £140,000 for anti-money laundering failings by the FCA in 2010, with its former money laundering reporting officer, Sudipto Chattopadhyay, also being fined a total of £14,000.
