Thai broker KKPS, Nasdaq ink deal for banking and brokerage risk platform

KKPS is expected to benefit from a rapid onboarding process.

American stock exchange Nasdaq has inked its first client for its banking and brokerage risk platform in Asia.

Thailand’s Kiatnakin Phatra Securities (KKPS), the largest institutional broker in Thailand, has reportedly signed a multi-year agreement with Nasdaq to adopt its risk platform.

The deal provides a launchpad to offer the product to banks and broker-dealers across the region, building on the experience and capabilities developed serving clients across major markets in the U.S. and Europe, Nasdaq said.

In particular, the platform will provide a live view of risk across propriety and client trading portfolios with detailed analytics to support real-time decision-making.

The platform also has the ability to scale quickly during times of significant market volatility, when live stress testing and risk management capability is essential, according to the press release, with new functionality and capabilities being delivered to all clients every three weeks.
