Increased deposits by Plus500 clients surge to a new high of $3.1 billion
Plus500 Expands Globally, Reports Strong Financial Results
Plus500, the London-listed online trading platform, is making significant strides in its global expansion, as evidenced by the recent acquisition of new regulatory licenses in the UAE, Canada, and Japan, and the establishment of a representative office in Colombia, marking its first entry into Latin America.
The Colombian Financial Superintendence (SFC) has granted Plus500 authorization to deliver a localized and tailored trading service in the over-the-counter (OTC) market there, and to strengthen relationships with local stakeholders. This move reflects Plus500’s strategy to grow sustainably by entering new regions, enhancing its technology-led platform, and maintaining high regulatory standards.
The company, led by CEO David Zruia, has already held licenses in major markets including the UK, US, Japan, Singapore, Israel, and the UAE. The total number of regulatory licenses held by Plus500 globally is now 15.
In addition to its geographical expansion, Plus500 has demonstrated strong financial growth. The company recorded a customer deposit of $3.1bn (£2.3bn) and reported significant revenue increases in the first half of 2025, with revenues reaching $415.1 million and EBITDA at $185.1 million.
Plus500 also announced a new $90m share buyback programme, underscoring its focus on shareholder return while expanding its market capitalization to £2.2 billion. The total share buybacks for the year amount to $200m.
The strength of Plus500’s globally diversified multi-asset offering was evident in its accelerated operational, financial, and strategic results. The average deposit held by an active customer of Plus500 increased by 105% compared to 2024, reaching an average of $17,250. The total number of active customers for the period rose two per cent to 180,000.
Profit for the period nudged up around one per cent to nearly $150m. Plus500 also issued a $40m special dividend. The stock price of Plus500 has jumped by a third since the start of the year.
Plus500's strategy to attract higher value investors seems to be successful. The company acquired Indian trading business Mehta Equities in March for $20m. The company is confident about its prospects and expects its full year results to be in line with market expectations.
