OTCX Trading Limited UK MTF

OTCX Trading Limited is a London-headquartered financial technology and trading venue operator that runs a UK multilateral trading facility (MTF) for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. The firm positions itself as a bridge between traditional high-touch, voice-brokered derivatives execution and fully automated electronic trading. Its platform allows clients and dealers to meet within a regulated framework to execute both cleared and bilateral interest rate and credit derivatives using a request-for-quote (RFQ) protocol, and it also connects wealth and institutional asset management clients to banks for the issuance of structured notes and OTC derivatives. The company's core proposition is workflow streamlining across price discovery, execution and post-trade processing. According to its official website, the platform handles approximately 15,000 daily price requests, serves more than 40 liquidity providers and issuers, and supports over 5,000 users spanning from Sydney to San Francisco. OTCX offers both a standalone graphical user interface and APIs, with bank-approved compliant screens and a single API providing access to hundreds of issuer pricing and execution adaptors. Its structured products solution covers structured notes and OTC derivatives with equity, fixed income, commodity and currency underlyings, and it advertises an extensive global issuer network, institutional-grade execution blotter, AI-powered workflows for reconciling deal terms and termsheets, and broad payoff coverage from vanilla to exotic structures. OTCX maintains offices or contact points in the United Kingdom, the United States and Hong Kong, with telephone numbers listed for each region. Its registered address is 6 Dowgate Hill, London EC4R 2SU. The firm has received industry recognition, including being named OTC Trading Venue of the Year at the GlobalCapital Americas Derivatives Awards 2026. It has also announced technology integrations and product launches, such as going live with BlackRock's Aladdin platform and bringing streaming pricing and click-to-trade execution to multi-issuer dual currency notes. As a UK MTF, OTCX operates within the regulatory framework applicable to multilateral trading facilities in the United Kingdom.
