Interbank FX, a leading provider of online off-exchange retail foreign currency (Forex/FX) trading, today announced that J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. has become the newest dealer participant in IBFX�s unique multibank liquidity feed, bringing the total number of contributing major money center banks to seven. This proprietary order routing system provides IBFX customers unparalleled access to liquidity and automatically executes trades with a collection of the world�s largest financial institutions, including Bank of America, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, among others.
J.P. Morgan proved particularly appealing to IBFX because of its strong reputation as a market leader in the global foreign exchange markets. According to the company�s website, the firm is a market maker in 200 currency pairs in spot, outright forwards, NDFs, option contracts, cross-currency swaps and exotic currencies.
�J.P. Morgan is a major player in the FX realm and we�re thrilled to welcome them as our newest liquidity provider,� said IBFX Chairman and President Todd Crosland. �We strongly believe that the firm�s vast expertise in currency products as well as their ability to provide fast, competitive and consistent pricing will greatly enhance our customer�s trading experience, as well as grant them even greater access to increased liquidity and world-class trading technology.�
J.P. Morgan�s price stream is available now on IBFX�s trading platform, which enables both retail and institutional customers to trade Forex without the hidden obstacles or potential conflicts of interest of a dealing desk broker.
The advantages of trading with agency-based IBFX as compared to a single market maker platform, or �Dealing Desk,� include:
� Competitive spreads
� Transparent pricing from major money center banks
� Anonymous order execution
� Smart routing to leading financial institutions
