Options Technology, a global provider of capital markets infrastructure, has announced the opening of its latest office in Dubai’s International Financial Centre (DIFC). This move is part of the company’s wider strategy to grow its presence in the Middle East and further support its international client base.
The new office will serve as a hub for delivering localised services, including cloud-enabled managed services, colocation, and high-performance trading infrastructure. The company is focused on helping financial institutions across the region gain access to low-latency trading environments, cybersecurity solutions, and real-time market data—critical components in today’s fast-moving financial markets.
Speaking on the expansion, Danny Moore, President and CEO of Options Technology, said, “The opening of our Dubai office is a major milestone in our strategy to expand into the Middle East. By establishing a presence in DIFC, we are now able to offer our clients enhanced infrastructure, improved service delivery, and tailored support specific to their needs. This reflects our ongoing commitment to providing best-in-class solutions and building long-term partnerships in this rapidly growing region.”
The launch of the Dubai office will enable Options to offer 24/7 local support, better serving the needs of international clients who require round-the-clock service. The DIFC, as a leading financial hub in the region, provides a strategic location for Options to deliver its services and meet the demands of its growing customer base.
The move to Dubai follows a period of significant growth for Options, which has seen the company open offices in several key locations worldwide. These include new sites in Paris, Toronto, and Chicago, which complement existing operations in major financial centres such as New York, London, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Auckland, and Belfast.
In addition to expanding its geographical footprint, Options has been involved in a number of high-profile projects. Recently, the company announced its support for Queen’s University Belfast Rowing at the 2024 Paris Olympics and confirmed a partnership with Diffusion Data, further demonstrating its commitment to innovation and leadership in capital markets technology.
With the opening of the Dubai office, Options aims to strengthen its global standing and enhance its ability to offer advanced technology solutions across the world. The Middle East is seen as a key growth market, and the company’s presence in the region will allow it to better meet the needs of financial institutions seeking cutting-edge technology and services.
As the demand for financial technology solutions continues to grow, Options is positioning itself to play a leading role in the evolving capital markets infrastructure landscape. The launch of the Dubai office marks a significant step in that journey.
