Founder Departs NAGA after Capex.com Acquisition
Ben
Bilski, the Founder of NAGA Group, announced his departure from the company
as the Chief Information Officer, just three months after Capex.com's acquisition
of NAGA, as reported by Finance
Magnates. Bilski's exit coincides with his pursuit of a new startup
venture. Having founded NAGA in 2015, Bilski transformed it from his SwipeStox
concept into a publicly listed forex and CFD broker.
Previously serving as the CEO until June 2023, he expressed a
desire to return to his platform vision roots. NAGA has been expanding into payment
solutions and cryptocurrencies and have seen significant growth, with 2023 revenue
reaching EUR 45.5 million and EUR 7 million in EBITDA. This is a marked improvement
from the prior year's EUR 13.7 million loss.

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.
