Fortis Bank Global Clearing and Tick-TS have entered into an agreement whereby trading companies can use the Tick-TS trading front-end in combination with Fortis Clearing services either with their own membership or with a shared membership of Fortis Clearing.

The combination of the Tick-TS trading front-end and the exchange memberships of Fortis Bank Global Clearing provides trading companies access to Xetra, Xontro, SIX Swiss Exchange, Wiener Börse and XIM (Xetra International Market).

In addition, Fortis Bank Global Clearing and Tick-TS also plan to provide access to the Euronext cash markets (Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon), Eurex and US equity markets.
 
“A multi asset class, professional, internet based, trading tool hosted by Tick-TS fills an important niche in Fortis Bank Global Clearing’s Market Access strategy, both in Germany and worldwide. The flexibility in connectivity (Internet, Fix API, Leased line) gives our clients DMA access and planned broker connections to smaller exchanges worldwide,” says Chris Lee global head of Market Access at Fortis Bank Global Clearing.
