Definite Review UAE 2026

Is Definite regulated in the UAE

The CMA public register, pulled 2026-08-26, shows Definite as Active. The legal name on the register is DEFINITECOM FINANCIAL BROKERAGE SERVICES L.L.C. The licence number is 20200000462 and the tier is dealing. It is not Category 5. The register records all six activities as Active. The activity string is “Financial Consultations; Financial Products dealer; Introduction; Promotion; Trading and clearing broker; Trading broker of OTC derivatives and currencies in the spot market.” The establishment date is 12-Dec-2025.

The broker serves UAE retail clients. The website states:

This website is intended for residents of the United Arab Emirates. Distribution is prohibited in any jurisdiction where it would be contrary to local law. … We do not circumvent local laws via reverse solicitation.

The customer agreement defaults clients to retail. Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 state:

5.1 In accordance with Applicable Regulations, the Company may classify Clients as: Retail Clients; Professional Clients; or Eligible Counterparties, where permitted under Applicable Regulations. 5.2 Unless otherwise notified in writing, you will be treated as a Retail Client and will benefit from the highest level of regulatory protection available under Applicable Regulations.

That default matters. A retail client in the UAE would not have to ask for retail classification.

Custody is the part I would check. The register row carries no custody activity and the custody permission field is not-found. The customer agreement discusses client money segregation at clause 32.1.1:

The Company will treat money received from the Client or held on behalf of the Client as Client Money where required by Applicable Regulations, and will segregate such Client Money from the Company’s own funds in accordance with Applicable Regulations, including applicable CMA client money rules and safeguarding requirements.

Then clause 32.1.3 says client money may be placed onward with “intermediaries; settlement agents; clearing entities; or liquidity providers”. It also says client money may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Regulations, cease to benefit from the same segregation protections. In my experience, this is the clause to read before funding. Segregation wording is not the same as a custody permission, and onward placement can change the protection a client actually has.

I would also note the licence date. A 12-Dec-2025 establishment date is recent. That is not a failing by itself, but I would check whether the firm has sufficient operational history before placing large sums with it.

What trading with Definite costs

Brief D 2026-08-26 captured no EUR/USD figure against any named account. The capture reason states “the broker publishes no EUR/USD figure against any named account”. That is a disclosure finding. I would not read it as a zero spread or as proof that trading costs are low. It means the public pages captured do not publish the figure.

This is the first cost question a reader should ask. A broker can still have costs through spreads, commissions, swaps or other charges, but the sheet does not provide a number to compare. In my experience, when the headline EUR/USD figure is absent, I look next at the account terms and ask for a live or demo price quote before opening an account.

No other cost data appears in the fact sheet. I would not infer that the broker has no commissions or swap charges from this gap. The finding is limited to non-publication. The status is not-published, which is different from a broker saying it charges no spread or commission. A reader who needs cost certainty should ask for the spread list, commission per lot if any, and swap schedule before opening an account. The sheet does not supply those.

Platforms and execution

The platform capture from Brief D 2026-08-26 lists MetaTrader 5 as true and a proprietary platform as true. MetaTrader 4 is false, cTrader is false and TradingView is false. Under the fact sheet definitions, false means the broker does not have them. Expert advisor capability is true, and a demo account is true.

Virtual private server and API fields are null. That means Definite has not disclosed whether it offers them. It is not the same as false.

Execution detail is absent from the captured data. The sheet does not disclose order routing, requote or slippage policy. In my experience, a proprietary platform can mean very different things across brokers. I would ask for the demo and test the platform before opening a live account.

The platform mix is specific. MetaTrader 5 is available, so a client who wants that ecosystem can use it. MetaTrader 4 is false, so a client who specifically needs that platform would not find it at Definite. The proprietary platform and expert advisor capability add options, but I would still want to see the execution settings inside the platform itself.

Which entity you contract with

The customer agreement states:

2.1 This Customer Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made between: DEFINITECOM FINANCIAL BROKERAGE SERVICES L.L.C, a limited liability company incorporated in Dubai, United Arab Emirates…

The CMA register names DEFINITECOM FINANCIAL BROKERAGE SERVICES L.L.C as the licensee. The contracting entity in the customer agreement is DEFINITECOM FINANCIAL BROKERAGE SERVICES L.L.C. These are the same entity, with formatting differences. The captured registry data says the CMA licensee itself, with no offshore leg.

This matters because the register entity and the contracting entity match. I do not see the contradiction that appears when a broker sells through a different offshore entity. A UAE retail client would contract with the licensed entity.

I would still verify the agreement at time of account opening. Client agreements can be updated. The clause I would keep in view is the one that names the contracting entity, because that is the legal counterparty if anything goes wrong.

Customer service and education

Customer service fields are partial. The UAE phone field is null, so Definite has not disclosed a UAE phone number. Live chat is false, so the broker does not offer live chat. Stated hours are false, so it does not publish stated support hours. The UAE office field is null, not false. No office address was captured.

The listed service channels are email and phone. The only hours reference is “business hours” in a withdrawal-timing footnote. Arabic is present.

Education capture shows hub as false, so there is no education hub. Course, Arabic and UAE events fields are null, so Definite has not disclosed those. I would not treat the null education fields as proof the broker offers no education. They are disclosure gaps.

Arabic presence in customer service is useful for UAE residents. However, the education fields for Arabic and UAE events are null. That means the broker has not disclosed Arabic education or UAE events. It is not proof they do not exist. A reader who needs local education support should ask directly rather than assume either way.
