Interview with ATFX Latin America Leader: Rebuilding Trust in the Forex Industry

At the 2025 WikiFX Elite Night in Bogotá, Colombia, we had the privilege to speak with a leading figure from ATFX—an expert with extensive experience in fintech and the introducing broker (IB) sector across Latin America. In this exclusive interview, he shares insights on regional market trends, the evolving role of IBs, and how platforms like WikiFX contribute to trust-building.

Latin America: Entering a New Era of Professionalization

According to the guest, Latin Americas forex market continues to show robust growth, fueled by three key drivers:

Digitalization is bringing in new investors, local financial institutions are increasingly integrating trading into their offerings, and more universities are embedding trading education into their curricula. This shows that the industry is becoming an accepted part of the broader financial ecosystem.

He also highlighted the growing relevance of the open finance model: We now work with family offices that are looking to diversify their assets through professional asset managers — who are, in fact, our clients. This intersection of education, institutionalization, and technology is raising the standard across the industry.

The Role of WikiFX in Enhancing Industry Transparency

Trust and information asymmetry have long challenged the forex sector. However, platforms like WikiFX are actively shifting this narrative.

Platforms like WikiFX have significantly boosted transparency. They allow clients and institutional partners to access verified information on our licenses, compliance status, and service quality.

This makes a difference, especially when dealing with fund managers or family offices who rely on traceable, objective data. For ATFX, these platforms are critical in demonstrating our regulatory commitment and industry leadership.

Financial Education: A Shared Responsibility

He believes financial education is no longer a value-add, but a shared responsibility among platforms, IBs, and institutions.

At ATFX, they take this seriously. For example, theyve partnered with the University of La Sabana in Colombia to provide students with real-world tools and market knowledge.

He also called on IBs to step up: IBs aren‘t just sales channels—they’re ambassadors of the brand. They should educate clients, promote risk awareness, and support long-term strategies. The way IBs behave reflects the core values of the broker they represent.

The Most Promising Trend: Institutionalization and Open Finance

Looking ahead, he sees a bright future for the forex market in Latin America— if certain conditions are met:

Were seeing the rise of family offices, professional money managers, and fintechs entering the market with structured strategies and a focus on capital diversification.

The integration of traditional and digital finance—what we call open finance — is creating new bridges and opportunities. If this continues with the support of education and regulation, the regions growth potential is massive.

Final Message: Use the Tools, Then Dig Deeper

He ended the conversation with a powerful message for global users of WikiFX:

Today, platforms like WikiFX give users the tools to make informed decisions. But users should go further—verify license numbers, cross-check with official sources, and make data-backed decisions.

It is believed that sustainable success is built on transparency, trust, and professionalism. The market is full of opportunities, but the key is choosing partners who share your vision.
