and much more.

FX Bridge will work with your IT staff to provide the right format and protocol that reduces your effort and speeds your time to market.

Bridge Trader Back-Office

Bridge Trader Back-Office provides all client management, risk management, and treasury management.

Client and trader accounts are profiles that the dealer can create through default settings or customize for each individual trader. Each client can have a unique set of spreads, commissions, and trading defaults, or can share settings common to other profiles. This facility minimizes the amount of work to add new accounts, make deposits and withdrawals, and credit and debit adjustments. Each trader can share in default system-wide margin management settings for early warning and cut-off points or be tailored to each individual account holders’ unique situation. Each account can be setup within a managed account group, or act independently.

In addition to a full-interactive menu environment for the back-office, Bridge Trader Back-Office provides an API to integrate directly with the dealers Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or back office platform. The API supports bi-directional communication for creating and maintaining the customer accounts. The API also includes full access to all of FX Bridge Reporting facility for XML, comma delimited and formatted HTML formats.

FX Bridge has the experience with scores of customer implementations. No other vendor offers such platform customization with so little effort from your IT department. FX Bridge is prepared to take care of it all.
