Egypt-born digital investment platform Thndr is accelerating its regional expansion strategy as it moves into Gulf markets and pursues broader retail investor access across Arab exchanges.

The company said it aims to build a unified investment platform allowing users to access local, regional, and global markets through a single application.

According to the company, discussions are underway with Saudi regulators regarding a trading licence, while engagement is also ongoing with regulators connected to the Dubai and Bahrain exchanges.

The regional push follows Thndr’s expansion into the United Arab Emirates last year, when it became the first remote retail trading member of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. The move enabled users to invest directly in listed companies and exchange-traded funds without requiring a physical presence in the UAE.

Alongside its GCC expansion, Thndr is preparing to launch a gold investment fund in Egypt and is also developing a real estate investment fund.

The company said its investment approach focuses on diversification and regular investing as part of broader risk management strategies across changing market conditions.
