An investor group led by Marc Joppeck, which owns global trading brand INFINOX, has agreed to acquire European online broker Skilling.com, subject to final regulatory approval. The deal marks a key step in the group’s strategy to deepen its European footprint and broaden its portfolio of regulated financial services businesses.
Founded in 2016 and licensed by CySEC, Skilling has built a reputation as a technology-focused CFD and FX broker offering intuitive trading platforms and localized client support. The company also operates offshore under Skilling Seychelles Ltd and is led by CEO George Kyriakoudes.
“Skilling’s technology and client-first approach are an ideal fit for our strategy, creating opportunities to scale innovation, deliver enhanced value, and build resilience in an increasingly competitive sector,” said Marc Joppeck, board member of INFINOX. “The firm’s presence in the Nordic region is a hugely attractive addition for the Group and strengthens our ability to serve clients worldwide with transparency, trust, and next-generation solutions.”
Under the terms of the acquisition, Skilling will maintain its brand and operational independence while gaining access to INFINOX’s global infrastructure, deeper liquidity, and international regulatory framework. Clients will benefit from a broader range of trading instruments, enhanced security, and more efficient mobile trading and payment solutions.
“Joining the portfolio is an exciting step for Skilling and our clients,” added George Kyriakoudes, CEO of Skilling. “This partnership will allow us to scale our strengths while continuing to deliver the user-friendly and innovative trading experience our clients value.”
The acquisition follows several months of due diligence and underscores the investor group’s long-term ambition to build a diversified, multi-brand financial services portfolio. Further updates on the group’s structure and strategic roadmap are expected in the coming months.
