Since 2010, HFM has grown into a trusted international broker serving traders across Asia, including Malaysia. Although HFM operates in Malaysia under its global regulatory framework—with oversight from respected authorities such as the FCA, DFSA, FSCA, CySEC, and FSA Seychelles—it remains fully accessible to Malaysian residents and widely used by local traders.

The brand’s evolution from HotForex to HFM in 2021 strengthened its identity as a unified global broker focused on transparency, fund safety, and client-first service. Malaysian traders benefit from the same award-winning platforms, educational resources, and support enjoyed worldwide, along with local conveniences such as MYR deposits via Malaysian bank transfer.

With millions of users globally and a strong reputation built over more than a decade, HFM continues to be a popular and reliable choice among forex and CFD traders in Malaysia.
