Establishment of TigerWit's broker and financial services headquarters in The Bahamas and gaining the Broker-Dealer licence means that TigerWit Financial Services Limited can now conduct its business from a globally recognised jurisdiction under the oversight of a highly regarded regulator with its clients enjoying the protections that the SCB provides through its rule and regulations. Significantly, this includes segregation and ring-fencing of client funds, and substantial capital adequacy requirements.

Founded in 2015, TigerWit's focus on financial technology has led it to establish a large client base across Asia. With the Broker-Dealer licence the Group is positioning itself to develop its financial services offering on a global scale, and is looking to expand its footprint by opening offices in key jurisdictions.

As part of its SCB Broker-Dealer licence, the Group has appointed Mr Andrew Rolle as a Chief Executive Officer of TigerWit Financial Services Limited.  Mr Rolle is a corporate attorney and chartered alternative investment analyst who has more than ten years of experience of providing legal and bespoke services to clients including broker-dealers, fund managers, fund administrators and family offices.

Summer Xu, CEO of TigerWit Group says:

"Receiving the Securities Commission of The Bahamas regulatory licence is a very important milestone for TigerWit Group and our clients. At TigerWit we aim to provide our clients with not only the best online and mobile trading service, but the appropriate protections so that they can be safe in the knowledge they are dealing with a well-regulated entity whose interests are aligned with theirs. We are delighted to have the expertise of Mr Andrew Rolle who will ably ensure that we fulfil our obligations as a regulated broker."
