Hantec Celebrates 33 Years with Africa Launch
The launch announcement was made by the group Founder Mr Tang Yu Lap at a special exhibition held in Lagos which also celebrated the 33rd birthday of Hantec Group. Hantec was the first broker ever licensed to operate online in Hong Kong and made an early entry into China and other regional markets. It then expanded rapidly to Japan, Australasia, Europe and South America. Hantec has earned the trust of traders in over 61 countries, carrying out over 5 million trades per month.
Mr Tang commented: “We saw a huge potential opportunity in Africa and have now decided to directly invest and expand further in this rapidly growing and increasingly sophisticated market.”
When questioned as to what differentiated Hantec in an increasingly competitive online forex broker market, Hantec Group CEO Freddy Lau responded: “We have seen from other markets that traders really value our 33-year history and the experience that comes with it. Our size and expertise also allow us to offer highly competitive commissions and innovative solutions to our IB partners to help them grow their business. It is their commitment and local knowledge that drives the business forward.”
Experienced Team Leads from Kigali Base
Hantec Financial is launching with a highly experienced Kigali-based team headed by Armand Muganga and supported by its Hong Kong HQ and London offices. Armand Muganga added: “Its early days, but we have been delighted by the response we have had from experienced IBs in Africa. They have quickly recognised the new growth opportunities Hantec can provide, not only in terms of increased commissions, but also from the innovative tools we offer to help them to acquire and retain traders at scale.”
