XS.com ends LATAM tour with private client and partner event in Medellín

XS.com wrapped its Latin America tour with a private, two-part event in Medellín after stops in Peru, Mexico and Colombia. The broker also picked up multiple industry awards along the way, including Best IB Program at Wealth Expo Colombia. Why it matters: - XS.com used the tour to deepen ties with both partners and retail traders across Latin America. - The company paired awards, networking and education to strengthen its regional footprint. - The tour underscores how brokers are competing on local relationships, not just trading technology. What happened: - XS.com closed its LATAM tour with a private event at the InterContinental Medellín in Colombia. - The Medellín gathering was split into two parts: a partner networking session and a retail trader seminar. - The partner session brought together dozens of regional partners, introducing brokers and financial affiliates. - The retail seminar drew hundreds of local traders for market analysis and strategy workshops. - Wael Hammad, chief commercial officer at XS.com, said the Medellín event was meant to give back to the community that drives the company’s success. - Hammad also said the event showcased XS.com’s multi-asset trading approach, execution efficiency, deep liquidity and advanced infrastructure. The details: - XS.com’s LATAM run included four events across Peru, Mexico and Colombia. - At Rankia Peru in Lima, XS.com was a diamond sponsor and won Best CFDs Broker. - At Rankia Colombia in Medellín, XS.com was a diamond sponsor and won Best Forex Broker. - At Rankia Mexico in Mexico City, XS.com was a diamond sponsor and won Best Investment Platform. - At Wealth Expo Colombia in Medellín, XS.com won Best IB Program. - The Wealth Expo award recognized XS.com’s operational infrastructure and its newly launched XS Loyalty Program for IBs and partners. - XS.com said the loyalty program offers more than $1 million in premium incentives per partner, beyond standard commission structures. - The company said the tour highlighted its presence in the region and its focus on sustainable financial partnerships and trader education. - XS Group, operating as XS or XS.com, is a global multi-asset broker. - The company was founded in Australia in 2010. - XS.com says it serves traders, institutional investors and brokers with institutional liquidity, trading technology, user experience, relationship management and customer support. Between the lines: - The award wins gave XS.com a marketing lift, but the bigger signal is its push to build a regional ecosystem around local events and partner incentives. - The emphasis on IBs and affiliates shows the broker is leaning on distribution partners to expand faster in Latin America. - The education-heavy format suggests XS.com is trying to convert event attendance into longer-term trader engagement. What’s next: - XS.com is likely to build on the momentum from its LATAM tour as it looks to expand relationships in the region. - The company’s partner program and local educational events appear positioned to remain key tools in that effort. - XS.com says its products involve margin and carry a high level of risk, including the possibility of losing all capital.
