Not covered: Stake Properties Limited (Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA)); Hessa Menfea Financial Technology Company (Capital Market Authority (CMA Saudi Arabia)). This licence covers a different activity (such as securities, wealth or payments), so its client-money rules do not apply to a forex or CFD account.
Complaints and dispute process
Formal complaints: complaints@getstake.com. Phone: +971 800 78253. Grievances must be lodged first in writing with the Stake Compliance and Legal Department in the DIFC. If unresolved, complaints can be escalated directly to the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) Consumer Complaints portal. Each property is acquired via an independent Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) registered in the DIFC with title registered at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), legally segregating property ownership from the corporate balance sheet of Stake Properties Limited.
If the broker does not resolve a complaint, escalate to the ombudsman or regulator of the entity that holds your account. BrokerBazaar's Dispute Support Desk can help you document and escalate a case.
