Moneta Markets Accelerates Global Expansion: FCA Approval Secured and Strategic Partnership with Atlético de Madrid Announced.

Moneta Markets has made two major announcements this month - FCA approval in the UK and a new regional partnership with Atlético de Madrid. Let’s start with the FCA approval. What does this milestone mean for the group?
Securing FCA Approval to become the controller of VIBHS Financial Ltd is a huge moment for us. The UK is one of the most respected and tightly regulated financial markets globally. Earning the FCA’s trust to oversee and operate a licensed UK entity reinforces the strength of our compliance culture and our long-term strategy to expand through reputable, regulated channels.

Why is the UK such a strategic market for Moneta Markets?
The UK has always been a global hub for finance. The infrastructure, talent pool, and regulatory standards are second to none. More importantly, UK clients and partners value transparency, innovation, and credibility - all core pillars of what we offer.

How does this acquisition fit into Moneta’s broader regulatory roadmap?
It’s a key piece of our multi-jurisdictional growth strategy. With the UK secured, we’re actively progressing with licence applications in other tier-1 regions. Our goal is to build our global reputation as a leading brokerage known not only for superior trading conditions, but an exceptional standard of safety and service.

Let’s pivot to the other major news - Moneta’s new partnership with Atlético de Madrid. What inspired this collaboration?
Atlético de Madrid is one of the most iconic football clubs in the world. Their motto, “Vencer, luchar, nunca rendirse” (To win, to fight, never give up), mirrors our ethos as a brand. Like us, they thrive on discipline, resilience, and high performance. This partnership isn’t just a sponsorship, it’s a shared statement of intent. It elevates our brand and allows us to connect with a global fanbase through a powerful, emotional channel - football.

Why did you choose to focus the partnership on the APAC region?
APAC is one of our fastest-growing markets, and we wanted a partnership that could amplify our momentum there. Being Atlético De Madrid’s Official Regional Partner in APAC gives us a strategic edge. We can now combine our financial expertise with the global appeal of football to create deeper engagement and stronger brand presence in key markets throughout Asia-Pacific.

What kind of opportunities does this partnership unlock for Moneta Markets?
It gives us access to exclusive matchday hospitality, branded content featuring Atlético’s top players, and a range of high-impact marketing assets. These aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re powerful tools that allow us to create unforgettable experiences for our clients and partners, blending the thrill of football with the precision of trading.

How do these two developments, FCA approval and the Atlético partnership, work together to drive the brand forward?
They represent two sides of the same coin. The FCA approval is a major credibility boost, demonstrating our commitment to doing things the right way, with full regulatory backing. The Atlético partnership is about visibility and emotional connection - it shows that we’re bold, aspirational, and globally minded. Together, they push us forward on both strategic and cultural fronts.

Any final message for your UK clients and APAC partners?
To our UK clients, we’re proud to finally bring our services to you through VIBHS Financial Ltd. You can expect the same Moneta edge, now wrapped in FCA-regulated confidence.
And to our APAC clients and partners, this Atlético partnership is for you. We’re just getting started, and we’re excited to bring the worlds of elite football and global trading together.
