Interactive Brokers Awarded Best Retail Platform by FX Week
IB built its robust forex offering in keeping with its mission of providing clients with low-cost access to highly liquid trading venues. IB provides direct access to interbank forex quotes, has no hidden price spreads, no markups, and offers transparent, low commissions. In order to achieve this, IB connects with 14 of the world’s largest interbank dealers, who collectively provide more than 84% of daily interbank liquidity.
The provision of deep liquidity was significant during the Swiss franc trading crisis in January 2015. While many FX competitors faced policy or technology-driven interruptions, IB fared no disruption to its price quotes during the violent movement for the Swiss franc, with the exception of a 3 minute period immediately following the announcement by the SNB. Even after the event, many competitors re-priced their customers’ trades at prices unrepresentative of market action. IB has no conflict of interest with its clients as it provides prices received directly from its counterparties. IB did not re-price a single transaction arising from the Swiss franc event.
Thomas Peterffy, chairman, founder and CEO of Interactive Brokers, is pleased with the results of this year’s awards. “We are relentless in our efforts to build the best technology to support our sophisticated and diverse customer base. Providing the best multi-asset class trading platform, cutting edge technology and access to trade the world’s markets at the lowest possible cost continues to be our focus.”
