“Secure and compliant access to financial data is no longer
optional; it’s essential. Collaborations like the one between Salt Edge and
Tradu are crucial for enabling innovative platforms to scale confidently while
meeting strict PSD2 requirements,” Dan Martalog, Senior Open Banking Solutions
Expert at Salt Edge commented.
Tradu offers access to various assets, including equities,
commodities, forex, treasuries, and indices. Compliance with open banking
regulations in the UK and EU is a key requirement for the platform.
Salt Edge provides a full-stack open banking compliance
solution. This enables Tradu to meet PSD2 requirements with minimal internal
development. The solution also supports secure user authentication with strong
customer authentication flows and helps prevent fraud while maintaining
ease of use.
Additional features include optional services such as the
MCI exemption and a customizable third-party provider portal.
“By providing seamless SCA and compliance tools, we’re
helping Tradu focus on what matters most: delivering a trustworthy and
efficient trading experience to its users,” Martalog added.
Tradu is also finalizing the integration of Salt Edge’s Open
Banking Gateway for Payment Initiation Services. This will allow users to
fund their accounts directly from bank accounts in the UK and EU, offering a
faster and more secure deposit process.
As Tradu plans to expand wallet services across Europe, the
partnership will support connections to over 500 financial institutions in more
than 20 countries. This is expected to simplify integration and compliance
tasks.

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.
