Mizuho Connects to SGX FX

Japan’s Mizuho Bank has connected to Singapore Exchange’s SGX FX platform and started streaming prices in June, the exchange group says.

The firms say the “partnership” allows them “to explore new opportunities and create synergies that benefit the global financial ecosystem”.

Noting that the deal allows the bank to further penetrate FX global markets, Takumi Okubo, deputy general manager for e-FX sales at Mizuho Bank, says, “This partnership marks a significant step toward furthering our commitment to contributing to a more integrated and efficient global financial market. By streaming our prices on SGX FX, we aim to offer our clients enhanced service and unprecedented access to real-time market data.”

Jean-Philippe Malé, CEO of SGX FX, adds, “Partnering with Mizuho Bank aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver exceptional market access and innovative trading solutions. Together, we can elevate the FX trading experience and foster greater market participation.”
