cTrader Partners With MAP FinTech on Broker Compliance Integration
The reg-tech solutions provider MAP FinTech has partnered with Spotware to embed regulatory reporting capabilities directly into the cTrader trading platform, creating what the companies describe as a unified approach to compliance management for brokers.
“The collaboration combines MAP FinTech's transaction reporting technology with cTrader's multi-asset trading infrastructure, allowing brokers to handle regulatory obligations without switching between separate systems. The integration targets the growing complexity of compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
MAP FinTech Partners With cTrader to Streamline Broker Compliance
The partnership embeds MAP FinTech's reporting tools within cTrader's existing ecosystem, giving brokers access to regulatory functions alongside their trading operations. This approach differs from traditional setups where compliance and trading systems operate separately, often requiring manual data transfers between platforms.
Brokers using cTrader will be able to manage reporting requirements for regulations including EMIR, MiFIR, SFTR, and various jurisdictional rules through the same interface they use for trading activities. The integration covers transaction reporting, best execution monitoring, and trade surveillance functions.Panayiotis Omirou, CEO of MAP FinTech
“We are excited to partner with Spotware to deliver a more integrated experience for brokers,” said Panayiotis Omirou, CEO of MAP FinTech. “Together, MAP FinTech and Spotware aim to empower brokers with a streamlined and future-proof approach to regulatory compliance.”
In recent years, companies such as Your Bourse and Tools for Brokers have also opted for similar integrations.
Regulatory Demands Drive Platform Evolution
Financial institutions face mounting pressure to meet reporting deadlines across different markets, with penalties for non-compliance reaching significant levels. The partnership responds to broker requests for tools that reduce the administrative burden while maintaining accuracy in regulatory submissions.
MAP FinTech currently processes reporting for over 200 institutional clients and has handled billions of transactions since its 2013 launch. The company specializes in cross-border compliance, supporting requirements from European, Asian, Canadian, and other regulatory frameworks.Yiota Hadjilouka, COO of Spotware, Source: LinkedIn
“By integrating with MAP FinTech, we're making it significantly easier for our clients to meet their regulatory reporting requirements without disrupting their existing workflows,” Yiota Hadjilouka, COO of Spotware, added.
The companies did not disclose financial terms or implementation timelines for the partnership.
Spotware's cTrader platform serves more than 8 million traders globally and offers over 100 third-party integrations through its API structure. The platform focuses on execution speed and algorithmic trading capabilities for retail and institutional clients.
cTrader was recently updated to version 5.4. The update introduces native Python support for algorithmic trading, WebView plugins for mobile integration, and an advanced risk-reward tool. It also expands available APIs and improves charting capabilities.
