The platform includes functionalities such as connectivity, aggregation, order management system, distribution, risk management, post-trade and a highly customizable HTML5 user interface.

This value-added service enables BCV to reinforce its clients’ relationships while capturing new flows.

Eric Vauthey, Head of Trading at BCV commented: “smartTrade’s follow-up on this project was great and allowed us to launch this new service in a timely manner. Deploying this solution to our customers was seamless as it is the same environment as the one we use. Our first client, The Banque Cantonale Neuchâteloise is live, and very pleased with this new service. Many of our customers were looking for this kind of service and within the context of COVID-19 this need is even stronger now as it allows them to ensure business continuity through electronic trading.”

David Vincent, CEO of smartTrade Technologies commented: “We are delighted that BCV is a satisfied client and decided to pass on the advantages brought by our platform to their own customers. Having a customer centric approach is key to smartTrade and we understand and support our clients who want to use our solutions to bring additional value to their own clients.”
