NCFX produces real time streaming benchmarks and high quality reference rates for FX, precious metals and crypto market data to help our customers navigate the complex and opaque world of foreign exchange.
We produce and publish the world’s only continuous, officially regulated benchmark rates for Spot and Forward FX.
The world’s only continuous, officially regulated benchmark rates for Spot and Forward FX. We construct our benchmarks by sampling data from across the entire global market, so our clients can be sure that they are seeing the whole picture. Measuring FX execution costs against anything other than an objective benchmark risks overlooking hidden charges or confirming prevailing, inefficient biases.
Independent, objective, unbiased. NCFX is an independent company with no vested interest in where our clients choose to execute their trades. This means our prices are not subject to bias or potential manipulation by those who would profit from skewing the market in their favour. Independent data is key to objective measurement, and so our clients can confidently understand and then take control of their FX execution costs.
Real-time data that provides guidance throughout the lifecycle of a trade. NCFX data is calculated and published in real-time, which means our customers are supported pre-trade in selecting an appropriate trading strategy, through the transaction itself, and then into post-trade analysis and reporting.
