Foreign Exchange Exchange An exchange is known as a marketplace that supports the trading of derivatives, commodities, securities, and other financial instruments.Generally, an exchange is accessible through a digital platform or sometimes at a tangible address where investors organize to perform trading. Among the chief responsibilities of an exchange would be to uphold honest and fair-trading practices. These are instrumental in making sure that the distribution of supported security rates on that exchange are effectively relevant with real-time pricing.Depending upon where you reside, an exchange may be referred to as a bourse or a share exchange while, as a whole, exchanges are present within the majority of countries. Who is Listed on an Exchange?As trading continues to transition more to electronic exchanges, transactions become more dispersed through varying exchanges. This in turn has caused a surge in the implementation of trading algorithms and high-frequency trading applications. In order for a company to be listed on a stock exchange for example, a company must divulge information such as minimum capital requirements, audited earnings reports, and financial reports.Not all exchanges are created equally, with some outperforming other exchanges significantly. The most high-profile exchanges to date include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and the Nasdaq. Outside of trading, a stock exchange may be used by companies aiming to raise capital, this is most commonly seen in the form of initial public offerings (IPOs).Exchanges can now handle other asset classes, given the rise of cryptocurrencies as a more popularized form of trading.

Read this Term (FX) technology provider Integral announced a new partnership with the Swiss division of Arab Bank this Wednesday.
The deal means that the bank is now providing an FX trading application to its customers that was designed by Integral.
This isn’t the first time the two companies have worked together. Back in 2014, Integral built an FX dealer platform for Arab Bank’s clients.
But those same clients have, according to a statement issued by Integral, increasingly demanded access to mobile trading.
“The banking industry is becoming increasingly mobile, so our customers expect us to deliver the same high level of service and performance in our mobile platform as we do across our other solutions,” said Rani Jabban, head of treasury at Arab Bank Switzerland.
“We’ve had a strong, longstanding partnership with Integral"
As Jabban’s firm was happy with the prior work that Integral had done for them, the bank chose to partner with the technology provider again to build a mobile application.
“We’ve had a strong, longstanding partnership with Integral and were confident that they could extend the BankFX platform to meet our customers’ mobile trading needs,” continued Jabban. “The feedback has been extremely positive.”
The tech firm says that over a hundred banks and other financial institutions use its BankFX Platform, including Wells Fargo, Mizuho, and Banco do Brasil - South America’s largest bank.
The technology provider claims that, as its system is cloud-based, it is flexible.
That means any problems clients have can be fixed more easily than a piece of traditional client/server technology.
BankFX is a flexible, cloud-based platform that addresses the entire FX lifecycle, so it is
straightforward for us to customize the platform to accommodate [Arab Bank’s] evolving requirements,” said Harpal Sandhu, Integral CEO.
“In this case we integrated our mobile app so their customers can trade whenever necessary.”
