Dubai, UAE, August 20, 2026 — Rise, a new trading app from INGOT Group, debuts across MENA and LATAM, built to take a trader from idea to position in as few steps as possible. New clients keep the profit if their first trade wins; if it doesn't go as planned, Rise refunds the loss automatically, up to $100. More features follow through the year ahead.

The launch marks the 20th anniversary of INGOT Group, the multi-licensed brokerage group founded in 2006. Rise is a trading app built from the ground up for a new generation of traders. The choice of regions fits a broader industry pattern: MENA and LATAM both have young, smartphone-first populations, and app-based brokerage offerings have been expanding in both regions as firms look beyond traditional financial hubs.

A Different Kind of Trading App

This generation reads the markets through the same channels that drive culture, and knows what it wants to trade before opening a trading app. Rise is built to close the distance between that decision and a position, with every screen, every action, and every line of copy judged on whether it helps the trader get there.

“Every screen in Rise had to answer one question before it shipped: does this get a trader closer to the position they came to take, or does it get in the way? A lot of what people expect to find in a trading app did not survive that question,” said Ahmad Khawanky, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Rise.

That thinking shapes what a new client encounters on the first day. They keep the profit if their first trade wins. If it loses, Rise refunds the loss automatically — up to $100, within ten minutes, with no claim to file and nothing to wait for. Onboarding runs from registration to a funded account in a coffee break, and from the first session a trader can take a position across eight global markets and more than 1,000 CFD instruments, from oil and gold to stocks, indices, and Crypto. CFDs — contracts for difference — let traders take a position on price movements without owning the underlying asset, and because they typically involve leverage, regulators in many jurisdictions require brokers to display risk warnings to retail clients; retail CFD trading is not offered in the United States. Refunded or risk-free first-trade promotions are a familiar acquisition tool among retail brokers; Rise's distinguishing detail is the automatic payout, with nothing to claim and a stated ten-minute turnaround.

“Twenty years in this industry taught us that traders trust what they can verify. A new trader's first losing trade refunded in ten minutes, with nothing to claim, says more about who we are than any campaign could,” said George Stylianou, Group Chief Commercial Officer at INGOT Group.

Twenty Years of INGOT

INGOT's existing services continue for the brokerage's established clients, with the same teams and the same standard of personal service that have defined INGOT Group for two decades. Rise runs as its own app and brand with its own product team.

“The first question a trader asks about a new app is who stands behind it. Rise is new, and the group operating it has been regulated across multiple jurisdictions for twenty years. That is the part a new brand cannot manufacture, and it is why we can be ambitious about what comes next. What launched today is the smallest version of Rise anyone will see,” said Nidal Abdel Hadi, Chief Executive Officer of Rise.

About INGOT Group

Founded in 2006, INGOT Group is a multi-licensed brokerage group operating across five offices in Cyprus, Dubai, Jordan, Kenya, and Sydney, regulated through six licences and operating two brands. The group has built its reputation on personal service from specialists who know clients by name, paired with the technology and execution standards serious traders demand.

INGOT Group's brands, Ingot.io and Rise, are the official LALIGA regional partners in MENA — a partnership with Spain's top football division, a competition followed by large audiences across the region. The group's education programs have supported more than 2,500 students through university partnerships, market simulations, and internships.

Rise is operated by INGOT SC Ltd, registered in the Seychelles and authorised by the Financial Services Authority of the Seychelles under Securities Dealer Licence number SD117 — a distinct operating entity and licence from the group's other regulatory approvals listed above, a distinction worth noting for readers who check which regulator oversees their account.
