Founded in New York City in 2002, FXDirectDealer (FXDD) is a foreign exchange trading provider that serves both retail and institutional clients, offering access to the spot forex market through platforms like MetaTrader 4 and its proprietary software. The company trades in 32 currency pairs—including emerging market pairs like USD/CNY and USD/INR—along with gold, silver, and oil, and expanded its reach in 2010 with a separate Malta-based entity regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority. In a significant industry shift, FXCM acquired FXDD's U.S. retail forex accounts in May 2014, while FXDD itself relocated its headquarters from New York to Jersey City in 2016. Beyond trading, FXDD is known for its high-profile sports sponsorships, partnering with the New York Rangers in 2009 and the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team in 2010. The company achieved notable motorsport success by sponsoring cars that won the 2010 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series Championship and the 2012 Rolex GT Series Championship. It also supported the MIT cycling club from 2006 to 2015 and the Malta national soccer team in 2012, showcasing a diverse and far-reaching sponsorship portfolio.
