Frequently asked questions

Fintech Global Center (FGC) is a financial technology company that builds fixed income trading systems and custom fintech solutions for the global financial industry. It operates two lines of business: FGC TMS, a fixed income trading and trade management system for broker-dealers, and FGC Bespoke, which builds, runs and manages fintech systems for clients.

FGC works with established financial institutions, broker-dealers, and fintech entrepreneurs. FGC TMS is built for broker-dealers trading fixed income; FGC Bespoke serves any firm that needs a financial system built or operated.

FGC's team has built systems across equities, foreign exchange, interest rates, credit, fixed income, commodities, energy and derivatives, as well as other esoteric asset classes and exotic products.

Thousands of high-value transactions, worth multiple trillions of dollars, have been executed on systems FGC's team has built. Those trades were made by major banks and global financial institutions in New York, London, Singapore and Japan.

FGC TMS is a ready-built product; FGC Bespoke is a custom build-and-operate service.

FGC TMS is a cloud-native fixed income trading and trade management system that has replaced TOMS for broker-dealers. It brings execution, clearing, settlement, risk, compliance and reporting onto one platform, with connectivity to multiple venues and multiple clearers.

FGC TMS clients have reduced platform costs by 50% or more within three months of deployment. The platform also automates manual processes across the trade lifecycle and adapts to each firm's workflows through configurable rules, reports and integrations.

FGC Bespoke builds, runs and manages fintech systems for its clients. Engagements draw on more than three decades of experience building trading systems, a Global R&D Center in India, and 24×5 operations, engineering and support teams.
