Elegant FX trading solutions

We know that every bank structures its FX business in its own way, with different processes and geographical reach.

By understanding what makes your approach distinctive, we can help you:

• introduce new FX products
• stream more rates
• boost flow trading efficiency

We maximise your competitive advantage and bring trading benefits to your internal and external customers. We help you to:

• minimise latency and manage flows
• check credit limits instantly
• improve your rate making
• integrate your systems into new ECNs, portals and other channels
• lever your market intelligence using algorithmic models
• manage liquidity dynamically and control risk

We make recommendations that are customised to meet the needs of your business. We work to a fixed-price as often as we charge on a variable basis. And we use flexible teams to deliver on time, on specification and on budget.

Our FX experience

We work with investment banking clients. We improve the reliability of their customer-facing systems, extend their e-commerce and enhance their rate-making engines. For example:

• We re-engineered a rate-making infrastructure and introduced a dynamic liquidity management engine to protect our client against predatory counterparties and market volatility.
• We designed a worldwide trading system to handle thousands of streams of executable quotes with high performance, low latency and guaranteed resilience during frenetic volume trading.
• We've created a number of single-bank trading portals, allowing our clients to offer their products and services in a tailored and differentiated way.
• We built a trading engine that coupled rate making functionality together with automated dealing, using algorithms that realised our clients' trading models.
• We accelerated client credit checks from seconds to milliseconds by developing a high speed credit-cache server. Our clients could check spot and forward FX deals instantly while still maintaining their credit process integrity.
• We enhanced a real-time risk analysis system during a migration to C#.net. Using our specialist knowledge of CORBA technology, we connected together our client's risk, treasury and FX trading functions.
