B2BROKER Obtains Labuan Investment Bank Licence, Marking Major Step Toward Institutional Expansion
B2BROKER PRIME Investment Bank Ltd. has received a full Investment Bank licence from the Labuan Financial Services Authority, a move that significantly elevates the firm’s position within the global financial landscape. The approval places B2BROKER among a select group of international institutions operating in Labuan IBFC, alongside long-established banking names including HSBC, JPMorgan, Standard Chartered, and Deutsche Bank.
The milestone represents a strategic shift for the group as it broadens its scope beyond technology and liquidity solutions into fully regulated institutional banking.
New Capabilities Under the Licence
With the approval in place, B2BROKER PRIME is now authorized to conduct a wide range of investment-banking activities, enabling it to:
- Extend credit lines and financing solutions to corporate clients,
- Provide investment and corporate advisory services,
- Trade and manage securities, including structured financial products,
- Operate in foreign exchange, interest-rate swaps, derivatives, and hedging services.
The licence effectively allows the firm to embed regulated banking services directly within its existing technology and liquidity infrastructure, creating a fully integrated institutional ecosystem.
CEO: A Turning Point for the Business
Arthur Azizov, Founder and CEO of B2BROKER, described the licence as a defining moment for the company’s long-term vision:
“This is not just another regulatory addition for us. It enables real banking capabilities to sit directly inside our ecosystem. Our clients can now access regulated credit, advisory and risk solutions across borders, backed by banking-level governance.”
He noted that the move completes a long-term goal of consolidating technology, liquidity, payments, and banking services into one unified offering.

The Labuan International Business and Financial Centre is recognized as a respected jurisdiction for cross-border financial activity, offering investor-friendly regulation and structured supervisory oversight.
