The Alpari story

New version of Alpari Mobile

The brand rolled out a global upgrade of its popular app: from now on, users of a radically new version of Alpari Mobile were able to execute trades right from their mobile devices since the full functionality of the trading platform was integrated into the app! The result of this upgrade was astronomical growth in the number of app users. Nowadays, this and other mobile products of the brand are used by some 2 million people.

Funding accounts and withdrawing funds with cryptocurrencies

Alpari expanded the list of cryptocurrencies as much as possible, with which its clients can top up accounts and withdraw funds. The popular cryptocurrency token Tether was added to BTC, ETH, LTC, ZEC, making it possible to work with the dollar-denominated token (USDT) stablecoin.

Alpari – diamond sponsor of Forex Expo Dubai 2021

The brand became the general partner of this year’s highlight in the FX market – Forex Expo Dubai 2021, which was held at the Dubai World Trade Center on September 29-30. Based on the results of the review, Alpari was declared the winner in the “Best Forex Broker 2021” category of the event.

ECNCore technology and precision pricing

At the beginning of the year, Alpari launched a special section with statistics on trade execution. This was made possible due to the introduction of ECNCore technology for processing client trade orders. This solution, which has no market analogs, significantly enhanced the precision of transaction execution, connected more liquidity providers, and reduced the frequency of requotes. Already in May, these innovations were reflected in the statistics of the Financial Commission, and Alpari, in fact, became the best broker among all its participants in terms of price execution precision, since in May, only nine claims were filed with the commission against Alpari, which is 30% less than the average member brokers. The Financial Commission ruled in favor of Alpari on all these claims.
