Japan's second-largest bank has joined Singapore Exchange's foreign exchange platform by streaming its prices starting in June 2025.
The partnership aims to boost liquidity and market access for traders while expanding both companies' global FX operations.
Mizuho Bank
has joined Singapore Exchange's foreign exchange trading platform, adding
another major financial institution to the SGX FX ecosystem as the platform
expands its global reach.
Mizuho Bank Partners with
SGX FX Trading Platform
The
Japanese bank started streaming its prices on SGX FX in June 2025,
bringing its pricing capabilities to the Singapore-based platform's network of
traders and financial institutions worldwide.
The
collaboration gives SGX FX access to Mizuho's pricing data
while providing the Japanese bank's clients with another avenue to access
foreign exchange markets. Both companies say the partnership will boost
liquidity and transparency for traders using the platform.
Takumi Okubo, Deputy General Manager for EFX Sales at Mizuho Bank
“We
are excited to join forces with SGX FX and further penetrate FX global
markets,” said Takumi Okubo, Deputy General Manager for EFX Sales at
Mizuho Bank. “By streaming our prices on SGX FX, we aim to offer our
clients enhanced service and unprecedented access to real-time market
data.”
For the SGX
it marks another cooperation in the last month, after the operator partnered
with Brazil's B3 stock exchange to launch Brazilian Real futures contracts,
creating the first Forex (FX) trading corridor between Singapore and Brazil.
Mizuho Bank
ranks as Japan's second-largest bank by assets and operates across 36 countries
with more than 850 offices globally. The bank's parent company, Mizuho
Financial Group, holds approximately $2 trillion in total assets, making it the
world's 17th largest bank according to S&P Global's 2024 rankings.
Jean-Philippe Malé, CEO of SGX F
SGX FX
operates as the foreign exchange arm of Singapore Exchange, one of Asia's major
financial market operators. The platform connects banks, institutional
investors, and other market participants for currency trading.
Jean-Philippe
Malé, CEO of SGX FX, welcomed the addition of Mizuho to the platform.
“Partnering with Mizuho Bank aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver
exceptional market access,” Malé said. “Together, we can elevate the
FX trading experience and foster greater market participation.”
Both
companies indicated they plan to explore additional opportunities for
collaboration beyond the current price-streaming arrangement, though they
provided no specific details about future initiatives.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
