ATFX Connect Adds Standard Chartered as Second FX Prime Broker

ATFX Connect, the institutional division of ATFX Group, has partnered with Standard Chartered Bank as its second foreign exchange prime broker, expanding its institutional services and market reach.

The collaboration will broaden access to prime brokerage services through ATFX Connect's liquidity infrastructure for institutional market participants. ATFX Connect is a trading name of AT Global Markets (UK) Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, alongside subsidiaries regulated by ASIC in Australia and the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong.

"As we expand our FX prime brokerage services, we are committed to enhancing market access for our institutional clients," said Wei Qiang Zhang, Managing Director at ATFX Connect. "The transparent, direct market access agency model we provide enables clients to trade on top-tier liquidity. The addition of Standard Chartered Bank's prime brokerage services perfectly complements our existing relationships and offerings."

ATFX Connect provides institutional and professional traders with services for both Agency Prime Brokerage and Margin accounts, offering aggregated liquidity in spot FX, non-deliverable forwards, indices, commodities and precious metals. The company's client base includes hedge funds, tier 1 and regional banks, high net worth investors, asset managers, family offices and other brokers.

The firm's liquidity pool comprises tier 1 banks and non-bank providers, with trading available in both sweepable and full amount forms. Agency Prime Brokerage clients can connect via direct FIX API, external technology solutions or ATFX Connect's proprietary trading platform, whilst margin clients access markets through the group's MT4/MT5 platform with an available bridge solution for FIX API connectivity.
