This is testament to ION Group’s commitment to innovation and ongoing efforts to deliver solutions that keep pace with a rapidly changing environment and help businesses grow.”
Eugene Markman, CEO, ION MarketFactory
WHY THEY WON

ION’s product helped several global banks go-live in the Singapore datacenter, allowing them to consume and provide liquidity to the local foreign exchange (FX) market
Whisperer helped global FX firms establish a Singapore footprint and connect to local markets.
WHAT’S TO COME
