Which Libertex entity serves UAE residents
Libertex has not confirmed to BrokerBazaar whether it accepts UAE residents, and it lists no UAE-licensed entity. Availability should be treated as unconfirmed until the broker states it in writing.
Status on BrokerBazaar UAE: Availability not confirmed. "Available" is not the same as "regulated in the UAE": only a Capital Market Authority (CMA, formerly SCA), DFSA or FSRA licence gives you local supervision and a local complaints route.
Funding in AED and local payment methods
Libertex has not stated AED account denomination or UAE local bank transfer on its BrokerBazaar submission. Deposit methods listed: Bank Transfer, Credit Card, Debit Card, Electronic Payment Methods. Expect USD-denominated accounts and a card or bank FX conversion fee unless the broker confirms AED wallets.
Withdrawal methods listed: Bank Transfer, Credit Card, Debit Card, Electronic Payment Methods. UAE banks may query incoming payments from offshore brokers; keep your deposit records.
Islamic (swap-free) account for UAE traders
Libertex has not specified whether a swap-free account is offered. Ask before opening an account if this matters to you.
UAE-specific risk note
Because Libertex has no UAE licence on record, the CMA cannot intervene in a dispute. None of the recorded regulators is strict-tier, so recourse is limited. The CMA periodically publishes warnings about unlicensed platforms marketing to UAE residents; check its list before depositing.

BrokerBazaar verdict
Risk Score is High. Libertex is an established multi-asset trading brand offering proprietary and MetaTrader platforms. Its CySEC-regulated entity provides a formal European regulatory framework, while its international operations involve separate companies and different levels of protection. The availability of multiple asset classes and platforms gives clients several trading options. However, clients should verify their contracting entity, applicable protections and total trading costs before opening an account.
Legal entities, regulation and licences
Libertex operates through 3 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence.
