Unlike many other providers, ATFX Connect has genuine tier-1 bank prime broker relationships. This means it can provide extremely high quality pricing and execution to its clients and is a key strength of the broker.

ATFX Connect has licenses in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Mauritius, and South Africa, with its main headquarters in London.

Key Features

ATFX Connect offers clients several attractive features. We think these are the most important ones.

Genuine Prime of Prime relationships

The use of the phrase ‘Prime of Prime’ in the brokerage space has muddied the waters as to the true meaning of the term. It implies that firms have relationships with banks and non-bank market makers, when they don’t.

Unlike those companies, ATFX Connect has two strong prime broker relationships in place with tier-1 banks. We see this as a real positive for two reasons.

Firstly, the credibility, balance sheet strength and corporate governance standards a company needs to get these relationships are hard. You need to be strong on all fronts to get a tier-1 banking prime broker set up. That ATFX Connect has them is testament to the fact that it has those strengths.

Secondly, having those prime brokerage relationships in place means ATFX Connect can pass on the best possible pricing and execution to its clients. Ultimately all firms are deriving their prices for most trading products from bank and non-bank market makers. The closer you are to the source, the better the pricing you get.

Tailored price feeds and liquidity

ATFX has built in-house technology to carefully aggregate and distribute pricing. Significantly, this can be done in a way to create unique liquidity for individual clients.

Single credit facility with margin netting

Trading on margin with ATFX means you get access to multiple trading venues via one credit relationship. The prime of prime also provides margin netting, meaning you can increase your capital efficiency when trading with the company.

Margin Account

The Margin Account that ATFX Connect offers gives brokers access to tier-1 bank and non-bank liquidity, via the Prime of Prime’s prime brokerage relationships.
