Orc, a leading provider of technology and services for the global financial industry, today announced that UBS Securities (UBS) has extended its usage of the Orc Access solutions to meet increasing global demand for high-performance and robust access on APAC exchanges.
Since 2007, UBS has facilitated its customer’s DMA requirements in Asia via Orc Trading solutions and recently renewed and extended the scope of its existing Orc infrastructure to provide a comprehensive execution service across Asia via both low-latency native and FIX DMA access.
In addition to offering local trading firms sponsored access to Asian markets, UBS clients can now take advantage of Orc’s low-latency infrastructure to trade on CME and Eurex via APAC hubs. This extended offering means Orc users in Asia will be able to trade exchanges natively in US and Europe without the need for exchange memberships.
“Orc is committed to evolving its trading and market access technology. Our sophisticated and powerful trading and connectivity solutions coupled with the market coverage and multi-asset execution expertise of UBS makes this a compelling offering to the trading community,” said Peter McPhee, Vice President, Sales APAC, Orc.
“Via UBS Quant HQ our clients can now not only access key APAC exchanges but also expand their reach to the CME and Eurex,” added Mr. McPhee.
"UBS is committed to providing client solutions in the APAC region. As the Quant HQ business grows, these platforms allow us to meet client demands across a variety of markets and asset classes,” said Steve Hammerton, Head of Quant HQ APAC, UBS.
The Orc Access solutions allow brokers to offer buy-side firms access to Liquidity pools including exchanges and ECNs, without the need for exchange membership. Connecting to the Orc ExNet Private IP (PIP) Network gives trading firms the ability to send and receive orders from more than 150 Orc sites.
The Orc Trading solutions are used by leading financial firms worldwide for market making, Volatility trading and high frequency trading. Together with access to the major cash and derivatives markets and a network of brokers, this is truly an unmatched offering.

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.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
