The new partnership integrates regulatory reporting tools, allowing brokers to handle compliance and trading from a single interface.
The collaboration aims to reduce operational complexity for institutions facing increasingly demanding regulatory requirements.
The reg-tech
solutions provider MAP FinTech has partnered with Spotware to embed regulatory
reporting capabilities directly into the cTrader trading platform, creating
what the companies describe as a unified approach to compliance management for
brokers.
“The
collaboration combines MAP FinTech's transaction reporting technology with
cTrader's multi-asset trading infrastructure, allowing brokers to handle
regulatory obligations without switching between separate systems. The
integration targets the growing complexity of compliance requirements across
multiple jurisdictions.
MAP FinTech Partners With
cTrader to Streamline Broker Compliance
The
partnership embeds MAP FinTech's reporting tools within cTrader's existing
ecosystem, giving brokers access to regulatory functions alongside their
trading operations. This approach differs from traditional setups where
compliance and trading systems operate separately, often requiring manual data
transfers between platforms.
Brokers
using cTrader will be able to manage reporting requirements for regulations
including EMIR, MiFIR, SFTR, and various jurisdictional rules through the same
interface they use for trading activities. The integration covers transaction
reporting, best execution monitoring, and trade surveillance functions.
Panayiotis Omirou, CEO of MAP FinTech
“We
are excited to partner with Spotware to deliver a more integrated experience
for brokers,” said Panayiotis Omirou, CEO of MAP FinTech. “Together,
MAP FinTech and Spotware aim to empower brokers with a streamlined and
future-proof approach to regulatory compliance.”
Financial
institutions face mounting pressure to meet reporting deadlines across
different markets, with penalties for non-compliance reaching significant
levels. The partnership responds to broker requests for tools that reduce the
administrative burden while maintaining accuracy in regulatory submissions.
MAP FinTech
currently processes reporting for over 200 institutional clients and has
handled billions of transactions since its 2013 launch. The company specializes
in cross-border compliance, supporting requirements from European, Asian,
Canadian, and other regulatory frameworks.

“By
integrating with MAP FinTech, we're making it significantly easier for our
clients to meet their regulatory reporting requirements without disrupting
their existing workflows,” Yiota Hadjilouka, COO of Spotware, added.
The
companies did not disclose financial terms or implementation timelines for the
partnership.
Spotware's
cTrader platform serves more than 8 million traders globally and offers over
100 third-party integrations through its API structure. The platform focuses on
execution speed and algorithmic trading capabilities for retail and
institutional clients.
cTrader was recently updated to version 5.4. The update introduces native Python support for algorithmic trading, WebView plugins for mobile integration, and an advanced risk-reward tool. It also expands available APIs and improves charting capabilities.
Six regulatory technology firms,
including MAP FinTech, have
merged under a single brand, ComplyMAP Group. The other companies involved
are Complyport, MAP S.Platis, Quadprime, MAP RMS, and MAPiTek.
The new group will provide
governance, risk and compliance services, regulatory technology solutions,
AI-based tools, and cyber resilience support.
Executives from Quadprime and
MAP RMS have taken positions within Complyport’s expanded divisions. Pantelis
Angelides will lead cyber risk and resilience management, while Panayiotis
Antoniou and Panagiotis Vassiliades will oversee prudential and risk management.
Greg Gregoriades has been named managing director of ICT solutions, and Harri
Petrou has been appointed chief operating officer.
