Abstract

ING was looking to accelerate the digitisation of its offerng in the FX markets - a market which is the largest in the world by traded volume, but also one that is highly fragmented and going through substantial change. The core interaction between liquidity takers and makers is rapidly moving to a “show me the data” mode of interaction, with ever increasing expectations around data and analytics exchanged between counterparties.

This is a market in need of solution to solve liquidity sourcing, trade execution and fair access to markets. With its innovative project to digitally transform its FX trading platform, ING sought to proide the best on street customer experience (CX). Achieving a step change in client experience required an overhaul of ING’s existing technology stack and product offering, delivery through a multi-year plan and with executive level support.
