- The companies are expanding their collaboration, with INTL FCStone now using TwoFour Systems' FX front-to-back office solution including margin processing, limit monitoring and an HTML 5 client web portal.
Two of INTL FCStone Inc.’s subsidiaries, INTL FCStone Markets Inc. and INTL FCStone Ltd, have licensed TwoFour’s FX Back Office for the firm's FX Prime Brokerage group, according to a statement issued by TwoFour Systems. INTL FCStone is now using TwoFour’s FX front-to-back across its enterprise offering.
The system in place at FC Stone includes margin processing, limit monitoring and HTML 5-based client web portal, all provided by TwoFour Systems. According to the company statement, users of the FX Prime Brokerage offering of FC Stone are globally spread out.
The move comes as INTL FCStone expanded operations globally and acquired multiple FX companies and systems to maintain its business. Looking for a partner to assist in consolidating the different businesses into a single platform, the company chose TwoFour as an already existing product vendor for INTL FCStone and the complete offering of a full front, middle and back office solution.
