Chris Leaver, COO of DealHub, commented: “Very few banks now opt for a 100% build strategy in eFX, and the first generation vendor platforms are looking dated, with limited flexibility or differentiation. DealHub RefleX offers banks a genuine alternative - the platform provides our customers with a flexible, fast to market route to a high performance, customised eFX platform - one component at a time, or across the full stack.”

The launch of RefleX also sees the introduction of a new client trading portal that works alongside DealHub’s venue and API distribution technology, to give clients access to the full range of distribution channels. The new portal has been developed using HTML5 technology for native browser delivery and can be fully branded and extended to give banks a private electronic distribution channel with a unique customer experience.

The new portal captures Spot, Forward, Swap and NDF transactions via executable streaming or request for quote models. Decision support tools include a charting library, as well as news feeds and the option to embed a fully auditable chat capability for in-deal support and automated capture of more complex trades.
