What is FX prime brokerage?

NatWest Markets FX Prime Brokerage (FXPB) is an open-architecture gateway to currency markets. Access allows clients to trade directly with over 70 FX market participants. All trades, irrespective of trading-counterparty, are then brought together as a consolidated portfolio and presented back through our client portal Agile Markets, or through distributed reports.  

Across both trading and post-trade operations, the platform brings considerable benefits over traditional bilateral arrangements.

Our FXPB solutions

Choice and connectivity

The FX market comes to you. The platform provides access to international and local banks, specialist non-bank price-makers and third-party platforms. Clients can arrange to connect with participants across various channels: single bank platforms, third-party venues or via voice.

Cost transparency

With access to multiple price providers in competition, benchmarking and best execution can be easily demonstrated.

Operational efficiencies

The NatWest Markets intermediation platform provides an elegant solution to see all trades in a consolidated portfolio in one place. This creates meaningful cost benefits through settlement and margin netting and removes the need for bilateral payments to multiple counterparties. Trades are valued and reported in a consistent manner.

Legal efficiencies

Once onboarded with NatWest, no additional legal agreements are needed with other market participants. This removes the costs to negotiate and maintain separate agreements with different credit terms and obligations.

Single point of contact

All your post-trade needs are handled by our specialist Client Services team. This removes the need for multiple operational touch points across different trading counterparties.

Information Barriers

Trade activity performed over the platform is insulated from other parts of our sales and trading businesses by robust information barriers.
