Our trading platform provides customers with more sophisticated, smarter and savvier technology and this shortlisting is certainly testament to that innovation. We are delighted to have received this recognition and are very proud of this achievement.”

On behalf of the whole company, we are honoured to be acknowledged by such a prestigious organisation. What’s more, for us to be shortlisted for a second year running is an incredible achievement - we can only cross our fingers and hope that we come out consecutive winners as well!”
