A 15th anniversary puts things into perspective for OneRoyal. The company was founded in 2006, a year before iPhone 1 had been launched and long before smartphones were glued to our hand.
Touch screens weren’t mainstream, and people consumed information differently. And if this didn’t bring enough perspective, here’s more: social networks had not taken over the world yet, Barack Obama wasn’t thinking about running for president yet and Lady Gaga was still known as Stefani Germanotta.
Yes, the world was different then. So, we asked some of the oldest employees of OneRoyal what has changed and what stayed the same in the business over these 15 years.
Rayan Al Annan, Founder and Chairman from Day 1, “I launched OneRoyal in the United States, in 2006. I wanted to offer the best trading experience and conditions with a very compliant and risk-controlled operation to make sure we keep our clients safe always; and that core focus hasn’t changed over the past 15 years. You can imagine that 2007-2009 weren’t quiet times in the global financial sector, and even though we smoothly sailed through this decade, we never stopped observing and learning from others’ misfortunes.
I have witnessed incredible technological advance in my early days, and electronic trading was still quite young. But if there was a risk we’d take as a business, it was to invest in innovation and tech, because it eventually helped us equipping our traders with state-of-the-art tools, exceptional customer support, and all the resources they need to trade with smarts and confidence.
The industry and the world may have gone through massive changes but for us at OneRoyal, the goal has always been to offer traders an exceptional experience. That’s still at the heart of everything we do.
When I started the company the strategy for maximizing our growth was simple: Cultivate strong customer and partner loyalty by providing traders with the best trading conditions they can find. Every area of Royal’s business was developed to implement that strategy and cultivate loyalty from both our customers and partners.
We’ve experienced rough market conditions over the past 15 years, and we’ve seen many bigger brokers fold because they lost sight of the most important part of the picture; the trader. That trader has always been the main focus for us. We’ve weathered the storms and thrived because we know that the only way to survive for decades and even centuries as a company is to offer customers excellent service and value, supported by a strong operational framework.”
Jerry Khargi, Chief Dealing Officer, Co-founder, “As I look back at the last 15 years and think what helped us stay in business and grow when so many others didn’t make it, I think the key was embracing the changes in the industry while remaining attuned and committed to our clients’ needs. We have always adopted a client-centric approach in building the product. A lot has changed in the regulatory frameworks we operate in, and keeping up with the updates throughout multiple jurisdictions has been key for the Company. Also, we have always put a great deal of effort in acquiring and applying technology to provide fast and accurate trading conditions for our clients. As the company grew and, like any business, had its ups and downs, we never stepped aside from our ethical standards, remaining a thoughtful, ethical and reliable broker to our clients worldwide. While those key attributes have remained the same, we have certainly grown in our office locations, licenses, processes, and headcount, as we have expanded our global team.”
Gebran Massabni, Business Development Manager, joined OneRoyal in 2009 explained, “I look back and see 15 years of success, solid strategy, and clear objectives, and I sometimes cannot believe how consistent and dedicated we have managed to be since then. I am proud to be a member of OneRoyal Team; Throughout these years, I have seen how hard everyone was and is still working to ensure our traders receive access to the best systems in addition to one-on-one support.
The ride was not easy; we encountered several challenges that have left us no option but to try harder. Even during 2008, when financial markets went through major crises, we were able to stay strong and continued moving forward in our path. This success wouldn’t have been possible, if it hadn’t been for our vision and commitment to grow and a team of talented, dedicated and passionate people aiming to deliver optimal trading conditions to thousands of traders around the world every day.”
To celebrate the Anniversary, OneRoyal has launched the “15 Years of Excellence” promo, allowing participants to enter a lucky draw and win prizes. The promo is available on the SVG entity, more details can be found here.
