Exness joins FMAS 2026 as an Elite Sponsor, spotlighting the next phase of Africa’s evolution
Exness has announced its participation in the Finance Magnates Africa Summit (FMAS) 2026 as the Elite Sponsor, reaffirming its continued commitment to the region and role in advancing trading across Africa.
Taking place in Cape Town from 26 to 27 May, FMAS is a leading event for Africa’s fintech and online trading industries, bringing together brokers, traders, fintech innovators, and industry leaders to explore the forces shaping financial markets. As Elite Sponsor, Exness will play an active role, contributing to discussions that reflect the current realities of trading in the region.
The company’s participation reflects its continued commitment to Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and to initiatives that help the African trading community evolve and mature. The company has been building its presence in SSA with a sustained focus on local accountability, holding licenses under the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) in Kenya. From its regional operations hub in Cape Town, Exness provides traders and partners with direct access to the company’s expertise. FMAS 2026 is an opportunity to deepen those relationships in person, at the region’s most significant industry gathering.
Traders across the region are maturing, becoming more informed, more selective and more alert to the difference between brokers who show up for events and those who show up for the long term. This shift is reshaping industry accountability. Exness representatives will also be taking part in several sessions throughout the summit's programme:
- Nima Siar, Exness Head of Partnership and Business Development Initiative, will deliver a keynote titled In this together? What good trading communities look like, examining what genuinely useful trading communities look like for traders and brokers alike, how to distinguish signal from noise, and the safety and security basics every trader should keep front of mind.
- Saheed Akinbiyi, Exness Country Manager in South Africa, will join the panel discussion, Track record? IBs & brokers between automation and trust, pulling back the curtain on how IBs are tracked, paid, and incentivized, and what that means for the trader on the other side of the referral link.
In addition to its on-stage presence, Exness will maintain a strong on-ground presence throughout the event. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the company's team at its dedicated booth and during networking sessions with partners and traders.
This focus aligns with broader industry conversations about resilience and performance, particularly as traders become more experienced and selective when evaluating trading environments. The ability to deliver consistent outcomes—not only when conditions are stable but also during periods of stress—has become a defining factor in building long-term trust.
"FMAS is where the industry has an honest conversation about what is actually working in African markets," comments Saheed Akinbiyi, Exness Country Manager. "Our participation as Elite Sponsor reflects what we have been building here, not just a product, but a long-term presence. Traders and partners in this region deserve a broker that is accountable to them locally, delivers consistently under pressure, and is here for the next decade, not just the next campaign."
By participating in FMAS 2026 as an Elite Sponsor, Exness aims to contribute to a more transparent and resilient trading environment, where performance and reliability remain central to the trader experience.
