As 2025 comes to a close, XM looks back on an extraordinary year of achievements. This year marked a major milestone, as the global broker celebrated its 15th anniversary – testament to 15 years of trading excellence, and award-winning service for more than 15-million clients worldwide.
Martin Ioannou, country manager for XM South Africa, relocated to Cape Town in 2021 to establish the local office, and has since overseen four years of growth. “XM has built strong roots in South Africa with a dedicated local team backed by global expertise. During this time, we have made a lasting impact by remaining locally anchored while delivering world-class support tailored to the South African market,” he says.
Throughout 2025, XM has remained dedicated to strengthening local engagement and building meaningful connections with the South African trading community. Through in-person seminars, client experiences, interactive events and small business support, XM continues to bring the company closer to the people it serves.
XM’s commitment to fostering deeper connections extends beyond events and campaigns. The broker actively supports underserved communities and children in need through ongoing corporate social responsibility initiatives. These contributions focus on education and broader upliftment programmes, reflecting XM’s dedication to creating positive change and commitment to leading with ubuntu.
Additionally, XM is driving financial empowerment in South Africa by combining global market opportunities and dedicated local support. Each trader is paired with a local account manager to make onboarding easier and more convenient.
Traders also benefit from XM’s recently upgraded trading interface, designed to deliver a seamless experience. They gain access to advanced features, like XM AI and free trading education, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to trade effectively.
XM continues to invest in the country, helping South African traders unlock their potential in the financial markets while creating a thriving trading community.
