GBE Brokers Acquires JFD Client Base in Strategic Expansion Move

Germany-focused CFD broker GBE Brokers has announced the acquisition of nearly all clients and intermediary structures of JFD Group Ltd, operating under the JFD Brokers brand, as part of an asset deal.

The transaction includes client funds in the eight-figure range and a four-digit number of trading accounts. Selected members of the JFD Brokers team are also expected to transition to GBE Brokers. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition is set to strengthen GBE Brokers’ footprint in the German-speaking financial market. Clients migrating to the firm will benefit from improved trading conditions and access to a wider range of platforms, including MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), and TradingView.

GBE Brokers stated that key intermediary relationships will remain intact, while German-language support will be handled directly from its Hamburg branch, ensuring efficient communication and dedicated client service.

The company emphasized its strong reputation in the region, highlighting robust client fund protection measures. Client assets are held in segregated accounts with Commerzbank AG, with additional deposit protection of up to €300,000 provided via Lloyd’s of London.

Ben-Florian Henke, owner of GBE Brokers, described the deal as the largest acquisition in the firm’s history, noting it will further solidify its leadership as a MetaTrader broker in Germany and accelerate growth through strategic expansion.

Founded in 2014, GBE Brokers is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and operates a licensed branch in Hamburg under BaFin oversight.
