History

FIBO Group was founded in 1998 under the name Financial Intermarket Brokerage On-Line (FIBO) as an investment-consulting firm. [1] It began offering online forex brokerage services in 2003 and added CFD trading in 2004. [2] The company was among the first forex brokers in Russia, ranking fourth by client numbers in 2011 (approximately 35,500 retail clients) before declining to twelfth place by 2016 (6,500 clients). [3] [4]

In August 2015, the group's Australian licence, which it held since 2013, was cancelled by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). [5]

In 2017, FIBO Group introduced cryptocurrency CFDs. [6] In 2023, it announced expansion of its CFD business into Latin America through its BVI-regulated entity. [7]

FIBO Group Asia Pte Ltd., which was based in Singapore, was de-registered by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) on April 4, 2019. [8]

The group's Russian company, ООО FIBO Group, was liquidated on October 27, 2022. [9]

The licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) through FIBO Markets Ltd. (formerly FIBO Group Holdings Ltd., licence 118/10) was voluntarily renounced in December 2024; CySEC formally withdrew the licence on 25 August 2025. [10]

Throughout its history, FIBO Group operated through several subsidiaries registered in different jurisdictions. As of December 2025, the only operating entity, FIBO Group, Ltd., is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and regulated by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVI FSC) under licence number SIBA/L/13/1063.
