Interbank FX Lowers Spreads - Part I

Monday, March 2, 2009 - 10:15 pm -- Abigail Degraff

Want lower spreads? We're delivering.

You've heard the adage - when banks compete you win. That's what we've done with our multiple global bank partnerships.

By obtaining competitive bids for order flow on our multi-bank feed, IBFX customers achieve optimal pricing and execution, faster processing times and increased liquidity on every trade, with just one click of the mouse.

Part I of our spread reduction plan:

Pair Old Spread* (in pips) New Spread* (in pips)
AUDCAD 8 7
AUDJPY 8 6
CHFJPY 7 5
EURAUD 9 8
EURCAD 9 8
GBPCHF 10 8
GBPJPY 8 7

 

Part II is in the works. We're in the process on implementing 5th decimal pricing for those customers who want it. 5th decimal pricing enables fractional pip pricing - which means even more competitive pricing on the rest of the majors.
