London – 11 Jan 2023: ION — a global leader in trading and workflow automation software, high-value analytics and insights, and strategic consulting — has won the ‘Best TMS Provider with FX Module’ in the GW Platt Foreign Exchange (FX) Tech Awards 2023.
Hosted by Global Finance, the GW Platt FX Awards celebrate technological innovation that has helped the FX industry become more agile and resilient amid disruption. The awards also recognize providers of tools to address major challenges, such as liquidity sourcing, trade execution, and fair access to market data. Introduced in 2021, the FX Tech Awards honor companies that conceive fresh ideas and execute flawlessly in designing or deploying technology to improve FX.
Global Finance’s regional experts consider submissions and use their own research and knowledge to make shortlists in all regions and categories. They then apply a bespoke algorithm including FX transaction volume, market share, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing, and innovative technologies to choose the FX Tech Award winners.
The 2023 award winners were announced in a feature article published in the January 2023 edition of Global Finance magazine. The citation for ION reads: “Transparency is another bonus for FX execution. The Best Trade Management System (TMS) Provider with FX Module, ION unveiled its new compliance cloud solution providing greater investment clarity, real-time oversight of pre- and post-trading, and full coverage of asset types and geographies.”
“Winning Best TMS Provider with FX Module at the GW Platt FX Awards 2023 is an achievement that we are very proud of,” says Eugene Markman, CEO of ION MarketFactory and COO of ION Markets (FX). “It attests to the value-add of our complete and scalable solutions for FX trading, trade management, risk management, and operations.”
