Details of ATB Financial integration with SmartTrade FX Solution
According to Ryan Rabin, ATB Financial's Vice President of Banking and Payment Solutions, the bank was "searching for a partner with a solid reputation and fundamental knowledge on FX trading and distribution with the requisite technology to enable it." Consequently, the bank chose smartTrade because of its comprehensive trade and payment processes.
