YWO Secures Mauritius FSC License to Anchor 2026 Global Expansion Strategy

Multi-asset brokerage YWO (MU) Ltd obtains full-service Investment Dealer status ahead of Dubai debut.

Fintech brokerage YWO has achieved a major regulatory milestone by securing an Investment Dealer license from the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. The move coincides with the appointment of former Exness executive Mateusz Wyka as CEO to lead the firm's institutional growth.

YWO (MU) Ltd, a rapidly growing multi-asset brokerage firm, has officially announced the acquisition of a full-service Investment Dealer license from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius (License No. GB25205550). Confirmed via industry reports on January 22, 2026, and further detailed in leadership updates this week, this regulatory milestone serves as the cornerstone for YWO’s expansion into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and North African markets. The license allows the firm to operate as both an agent and principal, providing the governance framework necessary to onboard institutional partners and professional investors ahead of its debut at the iFX EXPO Dubai in February.

Under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Mateusz Wyka, who previously served as a senior operations manager at Exness, YWO is transitioning from a challenger brand to a mature, institutionally-aligned market participant. According to Finance Magnates, the broker’s multi-jurisdictional approach now includes authorizations from the FSCA in South Africa and MISA in the Comoros, reinforcing its commitment to international standards. The firm currently offers competitive trading conditions, including leverage up to 1:1000 and access to over 170 tradable CFD instruments across forex, commodities, and indices via the MetaTrader 5 platform. This expansion reflects a strategic shift towards active growth, supported by a fundamental restructuring of its execution capabilities and partner support infrastructure.
