eflow has announced a strategic partnership with Iress, a global trading technology firm, to integrate trade surveillance and compliance capabilities directly within Iress’ trading infrastructure.
The collaboration brings together Iress’ trading technology and global market infrastructure with eflow’s trade surveillance tools, creating an integrated solution designed to help financial market participants address trade transparency, market abuse detection, and best execution compliance obligations in a single, streamlined workflow.
The partnership is positioned as a direct response to escalating regulatory pressures facing market participants. According to eflow, 58% of compliance decision-makers identify keeping up with regulatory change as a primary concern, particularly for organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions.
eflow provides regulatory technology solutions spanning trade surveillance, electronic communications surveillance, best execution and transaction reporting. Its tools serve both buy-side and sell-side firms, delivering highly configurable software engineered to support firms in navigating complex and evolving compliance environments.
Iress, for its part, brings an established roster of regulated financial clients globally, along with an award-winning trading platform that underpins market access and execution across multiple regions. The partnership reflects Iress’ stated intention to deepen integrations with carefully selected third-party providers as part of a broader strategy to strengthen its trading ecosystem.
eflow CEO Ben Parker said: “Today’s financial markets are subject to increasing regulatory complexity, with nearly three in five (58%) compliance decision-makers citing keeping pace with regulatory change as a top concern, particularly for global organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions. Iress is a global leader in the trading technology space, with an impressive roster of regulated financial clients across the world. This partnership will enable market participants to benefit from a fully integrated and seamless solution to surveillance challenges, helping them to strengthen controls, streamline processes and meet reporting obligations more effectively.”
Iress executive general manager – UK Debbie Kaye said: “Creating an efficient path between Iress’ trading infrastructure and eflow’s surveillance and compliance capabilities supports efficient regulatory workflow, reduces operational complexity and helps market participants to meet evolving and challenging transparency and market abuse reporting obligations.
“The partnership underscores our strategic commitment to work closely with selected third party service providers to deliver a continually-enhanced, integrated, interoperable and high performing trading environment, with seamless access to external services and solutions that enhance the user experience and contribute to market transparency and efficiency.”
