Integral and StoneX Partner to Strengthen Singapore Presence
Integral and StoneX have expanded their long-standing partnership by establishing connectivity at the Equinix SG1 data facility in Singapore. The move will strengthen StoneX's ability to serve clients across the Asia-Pacific region. Demand for fast and efficient trading services continues to grow there. StoneX already uses Integral's infrastructure in Equinix's New York (NY4) and London (LD4) facilities.
Faster Access to Liquidity
The local deployment will improve StoneX's access to liquidity in important asset classes such as foreign exchange (FX) and precious metals. It will also reduce latency and improve trading efficiency for clients operating in Asian markets. Removing the need to route trading activity through other regions lets StoneX deliver real-time market data more quickly and support faster execution for its clients.
Singapore's Growing Role in Finance
Singapore continues to attract investment from major banks and financial institutions. It is strengthening its position as a global financial hub. This growth is increasing the need for localized trading infrastructure that can support rising trading volumes and meet the expectations of regional clients. The expanded partnership shows this broader market trend, as firms seek infrastructure that allows them to operate closer to their customers and trading venues.
Executive Insights
Gerard Melia, Global Head of FX Sales at StoneX, explained that expanding into Singapore enhances the firm's ability to support clients in one of the world's fastest-growing financial markets. His comments state that clients in Asia increasingly depend on quick access to liquidity and consistent performance. StoneX aims to provide the speed, flexibility, and reliability that clients require to trade efficiently.
Harpal Sandhu, CEO of Integral, described the Singapore expansion as another step in a partnership that has lasted for more than 15 years. His remarks emphasized the confidence that global institutions place in Integral's technology. He also noted that StoneX's expanded presence in Singapore will help the firm gain greater value from Integral's platform. It will be achieved by enabling faster and more efficient access to regional liquidity across its FX and precious metals businesses.
Integral scales its Singapore operations
The development follows Integral's recent expansion at the Equinix SG1 data centre. There, the company has tripled its capacity to support growing demand. Now, Integral processes more than one million tickets each day at the Singapore facility. The additional capacity will provide the scale and operational efficiency needed to support institutions expanding their presence in Asia.
