forward to joining the team at FlexTrade and leveraging innovative technology
to provide best-in-class solutions for the fixed income desk."

excitement about Kovach's arrival, noting his vast expertise and the depth of
insight he brings to the fixed-income business.

Recent Partnerships and AI
Integration
In
September 2023, FlexTrade announced a partnership with Tradefeedr, a
renowned foreign exchange data analytics provider. This collaboration aims to integrate Tradefeedr's advanced FX pre-trade forecast data into
FlexTrade's FlexTRADER EMS platform, thereby optimizing FX trading workflows.
The integration responds to the FX traders' increasing demand for
comprehensive data sets that foster transparency and informed decision-making
in trading activities.
Just a few
months prior, in July 2023, Amundi Intermédiation, a subsidiary of Amundi Asset Management, revealed its plan to deploy FlexTRADER EMS.
Earlier in
May, FlexTrade Systems launched artificial intelligence-driven (AI)
functionality within its flagship. The AI system is designed to enhance the
interaction of trading teams with their data and trading technology solutions.
Traders can use natural language to rapidly interact, interrogate, and
understand data in the manner that makes the most sense to them.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
