INGOT Group, a multi-licensed brokerage founded in 2006, has introduced Rise, a new trading application designed to streamline the journey from market idea to executed position. The launch marks the group's 20th anniversary and targets traders in the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America.
Rise is built with a focus on reducing friction, allowing users to access over 1,000 CFD instruments across eight global markets, including oil, gold, stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies. The app's onboarding process is designed to take users from registration to a funded account within the time of a coffee break.
A key feature for new clients is the first-trade safety net: if a trader's first position results in a loss, Rise automatically refunds up to $100 within ten minutes, with no claim required. If the trade is profitable, the trader keeps the gains. This initiative aims to build trust with newcomers, as noted by George Stylianou, Group Chief Commercial Officer at INGOT Group, who emphasized that a quick, no-strings refund speaks louder than marketing campaigns.
The app's design philosophy, according to Ahmad Khawanky, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Rise, was to evaluate every screen and action based on whether it brings a trader closer to their intended position. Features that did not meet this criterion were discarded, resulting in a streamlined interface.
INGOT Group's existing services for established clients remain unchanged, with the same teams and personal service standards. Rise operates as a separate brand with its own product team, but it benefits from the group's two decades of regulatory experience across multiple jurisdictions. Nidal Abdel Hadi, CEO of Rise, highlighted that the group's long-standing regulated status is a foundational advantage that new brands cannot easily replicate.
The launch comes amid a broader trend of digital trading platforms expanding their offerings. For instance, Bitget's recent addition of CFD sub-accounts reflects growing demand for multi-strategy tools. Similarly, Capital.com's UAE licence for spot crypto signals increased regulatory clarity in the region. Rise's entry into MENA and LATAM aligns with these developments, offering a user-friendly alternative for retail traders.
INGOT Group operates from five offices in Cyprus, Dubai, Jordan, Kenya, and Sydney, holding six licences. Its brands, Ingot.io and Rise, serve as official LALIGA regional partners in MENA. The group's educational initiatives have supported over 2,500 students through university partnerships and market simulations.
Rise is operated by INGOT SC Ltd, registered in Seychelles and authorised by the Financial Services Authority under Securities Dealer Licence number SD117. More information is available at traderise.com.
