The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, one of the world’s fastest-growing exchanges, has launched ADX Managed Services (AMS), the entity’s latest suite of integrated, API-driven trading solutions and services, with the goal of simplifying investing and unlocking faster access to market opportunities for investors in the Gulf country and globally.
The ADX and Abu Dhabi-based brokerage International Securities signed an agreement at the Make it in the Emirates (MIITE) forum in Abu Dhabi on 5th May, to develop and launch the AMS. Under the pact, International Securities became the first broking firm to offer individual investors direct access to ADX’s integrated trading, payments, and portfolio services.
As a unified portal, AMS connects funding, trading, and portfolio management into a single, seamless workflow, removing traditional friction points and long waits for the investors to move from cash to investment.
As per the ADX and International Securities, brokers and UAE banks will be able to embed these services directly into their platforms, enabling clients to fund, trade, and manage investments within one streamlined experience.
Talking about salient services provided by the AMS suite, Certified Cash Transfer (CCT) allows investors to fund their trading accounts instantly through broker apps by removing manual transfers and reducing processing times.
Built on direct integration with the Central Bank of the UAE’s payment infrastructure, this service ensures secure, reliable, and real-time fund transfers, improving overall market responsiveness.
“ADX Managed Services is a game changer in how investors access our markets. By bringing payments, trading, investment, and portfolio management into one integrated ecosystem, we are removing barriers and enabling investors to act faster, more confidently and in real time. This is about delivering real, tangible value — making our market more efficient, more accessible, and more competitive on a global scale,” said Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of the ADX Group.
Ayman Hamed, Chief Executive Officer of International Securities, remarked, “We are proud to be the first broking to partner with ADX on the rollout of its managed services offering. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing how investors access and engage with the market. By integrating funding, trading, and portfolio management into a single, seamless journey, we are delivering a faster, more efficient, and more intuitive investment experience for our clients.”
The ADX has already advanced to the AMS’ next phase, with additional services like the Systematic Savings Plan (SSP) currently in the development phase.
SSP will enable automated, goal-based investing and the IBAN Validation Service (IVS), which will further enhance transaction accuracy and security. Through these breakthrough solutions, ADX eyes further streamlining the investment journey while strengthening trust and operational resilience across the UAE’s domestic market.
