R5 offers a new electronic marketplace for emerging market foreign exchange (EMFX) and electronic non-deliverable forwards (eNDF)Upcoming Regulation requires Foreign Exchange (FX) trading banks to drastically change their current trading channels for the BRICS and other Emerging Market/NDF currency pairs. Today these currencies are currently traded and fixed over a number of old, difficult to track and inefficient methods. The market is opaque and liable to imperfect price movements to the detriment of bank customers and consumers, hence regulators desire for change. R5 is building the eMerging MarketPlace for FX banks that not only satisfies these new legal requirements, but also specializes in the fast growing transaction volumes in BRIC and emerging economy currencies.I am responsible for the expansion of the global footprint of this leading Emerging Market FX platform as well as helping them raise funds.
