The company was originally established in Turkey in 1998 by Sabri Hakkı Ulukartal. After initially starting Forex trading services as Ulukartal Kiymetli Madenler, the company acquired 2 stock exchange brokerage firms registered with and regulated by the CMB, and he founded Ulukartal Holding. The company has been admitted as a trade member to both the (IAB) Istanbul Gold Exchange (2002) and (DGCX) Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (2006)[3][4]

The founder Sabri Hakkı Ulukartal graduated from the Boston University, Financial School of Management with an honorary degree. He has worked tirelessly in contact with the governing bodies regarding the legal and regulatory framework of the Forex trading business to be properly established in Turkey, but he faced the tragedy of an untimely death at the age of 43.[5][6]

The parent company Integral Securities is one of the first 7 forex firms to be licensed temporarily by the CMB in 2011.[7][8] Integral Securities is one of the first 3 forex firms to obtain a full forex license in Turkey by the CMB in March 2012.[9] The company also has derivatives trading licenses with the Borsa Istanbul (BIST).[10]

Integral Forex has formed a partnership in March 2013, with the Swiss forex bank Dukascopy, and became the first broker to provide Swiss-made trading platform JForex to its clients in Turkey.[11][12][13][14][15]
