AIMS has officially entered Indonesia’s retail trading market after securing regulatory approval from BAPPEBTI, the country’s Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency. The broker launched its Jakarta office on May 25, 2026, gaining legal authorization to offer trading services to local clients in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
The move positions AIMS to capitalize on Indonesia’s population of over 270 million and rapidly growing online trading participation driven by increased smartphone adoption and digital platform access. The regulatory approval places AIMS alongside other international brokers expanding into the Indonesian market, including Plus500, which acquired locally regulated Global Intra Berjangka, and Doo Financial Futures, which recently obtained BAPPEBTI approval to offer securities, futures, CFDs and OTC products.
Indonesia represents a strategic anchor for AIMS’ regional expansion following its transition to prime brokerage operations under a Market Maker license from Australia’s ASIC in September 2024.

Brokers targeting Southeast Asian retail growth should monitor Indonesia’s licensing pipeline as regulatory capacity expands to accommodate increasing international broker applications in this high-growth market.
