The brokerage arm of Hantec Group has opened a new office in Bangkok.
Hantec Financial is the group name given to the company’s different brokerage brands, which includes entities in the UK, Hong Kong, and Australia.
The company said in a statement that the new office in the Thai capital will act as a regional hub for the firm’s operations in Southeast Asia.
“We’re proud to officially launch our Southeast Asia Regional Office in the heart of Bangkok — a landmark step in Hantec Financial’s journey to bring global financial access closer to local markets,” said the firm.
“Driven by our philosophy of Global Vision, Local Insight, our Bangkok office is set to empower investors across Thailand and beyond with multilingual support, real-time intelligence, and tailored multi-asset trading solutions.”
ASEAN focus
The move to open an office in Bangkok is not that surprising.
Countries in the ASEAN region, particularly Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, are being heavily targeted by brokers today.
This is not exactly a new phenomenon but it has become more pronounced in the last few years, as business becomes harder to do in both Europe and China.
Brokers do face some risks in Thailand. The local regulator has often sought to crack down on firms operating in the country, with one WikiFX event even raided by local police last year.
