Cape Town, South Africa – June XX, 2025 – CFI Financial Group, a leading global online trading provider, has emerged from FMAS:25 (The Finance Magnates Africa Summit) as one of the continent's most celebrated brokers, securing two significant awards: Best Trading Tools – Africa and Best Rising Broker – Africa at this year's prestigious FAME Awards.

Presented live on the centre stage at FMAS:25, the awards honour the most impactful companies shaping the future of finance across the continent. This recognition reflects CFI's growing influence and commitment to empowering African traders through powerful and intuitive platforms, financial literacy, and cutting-edge technology.

At CFI, we believe financial confidence starts with access to smart technology, trusted insights, and an environment that puts the trader first. These awards are a proud moment, but they are also a reflection of our commitment to the continent's future."

Held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, FMAS:25 welcomed industry leaders, innovators, and retail brokers from across Africa and beyond. CFI took on a prominent role, sponsoring the Empower Lounge, a dedicated space designed to bring conversations around inclusion, accessibility, and trader education to the fore.

The company was also featured in the event's panel discussions, with Israfil contributing his perspective on the evolving financial ecosystem in Africa. His message focused on bridging the gap between technology and trust, highlighting how tools alone are not enough — they must be backed by transparency, education, and a client-first philosophy.
