Alpari

Alpari was a brand name formerly associated with a group of financial service companies providing online trading services, primarily in the foreign exchange (forex) market. The Alpari group had a global presence with offices in various countries.

Alpari offered retail clients the ability to trade a range of financial instruments, including currency pairs, precious metals, and contracts for difference (CFDs) on indices and commodities. Trading was typically conducted through online trading platforms.

The Alpari group was known for its marketing and sponsorship activities, including sponsorships in motorsports and football.

In January 2015, Alpari (UK) Limited, the UK-based entity within the Alpari group, entered insolvency following significant losses incurred as a result of the unexpected Swiss National Bank decision to remove the floor on the EUR/CHF exchange rate. This event caused substantial volatility in the forex market and impacted numerous brokers.

Following the insolvency of Alpari (UK) Limited, other entities within the Alpari group continued to operate, albeit sometimes under revised regulatory frameworks or with changes in their service offerings. Over time, various brands and entities associated with the original Alpari group have undergone restructuring, rebranding, or ceased operations. The brand name "Alpari" may still be used in certain contexts, though its association with specific formerly affiliated entities requires careful examination.

It is important to note that the financial services industry is subject to regulatory oversight and changes in market conditions. Individuals considering engaging with any financial service provider should conduct thorough due diligence to assess its regulatory standing, financial stability, and suitability for their individual needs.
