December 01, 2021

Shanghai – COMSTAR and Bloomberg FXGO introduced a joint solution which enables financial institutions to accelerate the automation of their foreign exchange businesses, providing more seamless customer experiences for corporate clients. This solution has been adopted by active dealers in China’s interbank market. ComStar is China’s leading finance service and risk management platform developed by CFETS Financial Data Co., Ltd. FXGO, Bloomberg’s premier multi-bank FX trading solution, provides access to hundreds of liquidity providers globally and regionally.

The COMSTAR-FXGO solution uses advanced automation technology to optimize FX workflows by automating manual tasks and reducing communication costs. For example, a bank can generate bulk automated quotes for clients’ standardized requests while providing customized quotes to meet specific needs. COMSTAR connects with Bloomberg FXGO through a standard API, offering institutions pricing and risk management tools.

“With the seamless connection to the interbank FX trading system, COMSTAR can quickly respond to the market and regulatory changes, providing market participants with efficient, convenient, safe and stable support,” said Qianyin Wang, General Manager of ComStar. “We will seize the momentum and continue to innovate solutions with an open mindset to achieve sustainable growth and meet the diversified needs of users. We are delighted to partner with Bloomberg to use the power of technology to help financial institutions to upgrade their services provided to clients and grow the business.”

“The collaboration with COMSTAR is another example of Bloomberg’s commitment to the China market and customizing our technology solutions for local customers. With the lingering impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the global economy and markets, banks facing the challenges of market volatility and increased cost pressures are looking to bring operational efficiency to their workflows, enhancing the quality of service to customers. We look forward to providing foreign exchange business support for more financial institutions and enterprises in the near future,” said Tod Van Name, Global Head of Foreign Exchange Electronic Trading at Bloomberg L.P.
