We're building Meridian the right way — regulation comes before revenue. Our licence applications are in progress and compliance infrastructure is being built in parallel with our platform.
We're pursuing regulatory approval in jurisdictions chosen for their credibility and operational fit
Investment Dealer licence application filed with the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius. This jurisdiction offers a robust regulatory framework recognised internationally, with clear capital requirements and investor protection standards.
Category 3C licence application in preparation with the Dubai International Financial Centre. Our headquarters are already established in DIFC, and we're working closely with local counsel to meet all requirements.
We're evaluating additional jurisdictions for our next phase of expansion. Our regulatory strategy prioritises credible, well-regarded authorities that provide our clients with genuine legal protection and recourse.
Rather than launching first and dealing with compliance later, we're building our regulatory infrastructure alongside our technology. Our compliance team has been part of the founding team since day one.
We're implementing institutional-grade protections before we onboard a single live client
All client deposits will be held in segregated accounts at tier-1 banking institutions, completely separate from company operating capital.
Your account balance cannot go below zero. We guarantee negative balance protection — you'll never owe funds beyond your deposit.
All client data and transactions are protected with AES-256 encryption, 2FA authentication, and strict access controls across our entire infrastructure.
We've engaged an independent audit firm from pre-launch. Financial statements and operational processes will be verified annually and made available to regulators.
Industry-standard procedures to prevent financial crime — built in, not bolted on
Comprehensive identity verification and customer profiling. We verify personal information, source of funds, and trading experience to ensure proper client categorisation and suitability.
AML procedures aligned with FATF recommendations. Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity and comprehensive sanctions screening against global watchlists.
Real-time monitoring of all account activity. Automated systems detect unusual patterns and flag suspicious transactions for review by our compliance team.
Full GDPR compliance with strict data protection standards. Client data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with access limited to authorised personnel only.
How we plan to execute trades — no conflicts of interest, no hidden markups
Straight-Through Processing model — all orders route directly to our liquidity providers. No manual intervention, no dealing desk manipulation.
Direct market access through our LP network. We earn on spreads and commissions, not by trading against you. Our interests are aligned with yours.
We will publish execution statistics — fill rates, slippage data, and order flow — so clients can independently verify the quality of our execution.
Our regulatory and product roadmap is shared openly. We believe transparency about where we are — and where we're going — builds more trust than marketing claims.
We're not cutting corners on compliance. Get early access and be part of a brokerage that's doing things properly.
