Commenting on the upgrade, Jean-Philippe Male, Chief Executive Officer at BidFX, said in the statement: “The FX market is constantly evolving to keep apace with new, disruptive technologies.

In an industry undergoing such significant change, trust is fast becoming the currency, and the importance of security cannot be understated.”
