Capital.com taps KRM22 for market surveillance
“As a fast-growing investment and trading platform, ensuring the integrity of our business and the security of our clients are of utmost importance”.
Capital.com has partnered with RegTech firm KRM22 for its Market Surveillance product as the high-growth investment trading fintech group strengthens its capabilities to address its ever growing client base.
In 2020, the platform reported a 700 percent growth in customer accounts, surpassing the 2 million clients. The UK-based fintech has offices located in the UK, Gibraltar, Australia, Cyprus, and Belarus, with clients in over 180 countries.
Capital.com succeeds with retail traders
Besides the award-winning platform, available on web and app, Capital.com has robust risk management controls and transparent pricing, while offering extensive financial lessons and educational content via its Investmate app.
In 2020, retail investors have flocked toward trading platforms in order to gain access to stocks and crypto as the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down. Retail trading platforms, including Capital.com, signed up 11 million new traders that year.
Market surveillance has become widely important at this stage and Capital Com is looking to boost its capabilities with KRM22, which was founded to help capital market companies reduce the cost and complexity of risk management.
The Global Risk Platform addresses firms’ market, compliance, operations, and technology risk challenges and their entire enterprise risk profile.
