CFD Brokers Get New Compliance Tool as IPC Partners With Open Lake

IPC, the technology
provider supporting FX and CFD brokers in enhancing trading capabilities, has
partnered with Open Lake Technology (OLT) to address growing compliance
challenges in financial communications, the companies announced today (Tuesday).

The
collaboration integrates OLT’s compliance automation technologies into IPC’s
Unigy voice communications platform, creating a unified system aimed at helping
financial institutions meet regulatory requirements while improving operational
efficiency.

Colin Allison, Compliance Product Manager at IPC

“Financial
institutions are under immense pressure to meet regulatory demands while
optimizing operational efficiency,” said Colin Allison, Compliance Product
Manager at IPC.

“Bringing
OLT’s automation and monitoring capabilities within our global communications
technology environment enables our customers to streamline compliance
activities and meet regulatory reporting obligations with confidence.”

CAP and TFSC

The
integration brings two key OLT solutions to IPC’s ecosystem. The Compliance
Automation Process (CAP) verifies regulatory compliance in near real-time,
identifying gaps in call recording and ensuring data quality and retention.
Meanwhile, the Trade Floor Systems Check (TFSC) provides automated monitoring
of trading terminals, voice recording systems, and network connectivity .

These tools
aim to help financial firms address a persistent industry challenge:
maintaining comprehensive compliance across increasingly complex communications
infrastructures while containing costs.

solutions assure compliance and also drive greater operational performance,
complementing IPC’s extensive communications technology solutions and
services,” said Antony Derbes, CEO at Open Lake Technology.

FX/CFD industry, while Open Lake Technology specializes in automation solutions
for trading and financial services firms.
