Sahm Secures DFSA License for UAE Expansion
Sahm has secured a license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority, reinforcing its regional expansion strategy. As a result, its UAE entity, Sahm Financial Limited, now operates within the Dubai International Financial Centre under a regulated framework.
Under this license, the firm can provide financial product advice and arrange investment deals. In addition, it can act as an agent in investment transactions. The authorization also allows Sahm to serve retail clients while holding or controlling client assets. Therefore, the company aligns its operations with strict regulatory standards focused on investor protection and market integrity.
Expanding Across the GCC Market
The UAE expansion builds on earlier progress in Saudi Arabia. Previously, the group secured a license from the Saudi Capital Market Authority in 2024. As a result, it established a strong operational base in the Kingdom.
At the same time, the company developed its all-in-one Sahm App to support trading across Saudi and US markets. Moreover, the platform emphasizes usability, advanced tools, and responsive support. Consequently, it has attracted a growing user base and surpassed one million users.
Positioning for Regional Growth
Now that the firm operates under regulatory frameworks in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, it can scale across the GCC more effectively. Furthermore, the dual presence supports access to a broader and more diverse investor base.
The company continues to prioritize compliance and innovation while expanding its services. As demand for digital investment platforms rises, Sahm strengthens its position in the regional financial ecosystem.
