The new Spot FX matching platform has been developed in response to client demand for an alternative and cost-effective eMatching solution.
The new SpotMatch service offers access to a deep pool of liquidity across the interbank marketplace.
Andrew Berry, Senior Managing Director, ICAP said:
We have developed SpotMatch to meet client demand. Following many discussions with our clients it became clear there is a need for a simple, user-friendly interface for eMatching trading across FX Markets. We’re continuing to focus on electronification right across the business and this is another example of where TP ICAP is taking important strides forward to deliver innovative electronic offerings in key marketplaces.

With this platform, traders can submit orders prior to pre-scheduled FX matching events and take advantage of first-in-first-out methodology. Using post-trade solutions, matched trades then flow through to a client’s benchmark order book.
