Let's head back over to Amsterdam for one last look at money 2020 Europe.
Anastasia Kinski is back and standing by with more.
Hi Anastasia.
Thanks, Rey.
We're wrapping up the show here at Money 2020, but I'm delighted to be joined by Salim Sebbata, the Chief Commercial Officer Europe at GTN.
Salim, thank you so much for joining me.
Thank you for having me.
It's great to be back.
So tell me, what makes GTN that you're set up and your infrastructure, what makes you different?
So GTN is a brokerage and investing infrastructure provider.
Uh, we are API first.
We provide access to 90 global markets, be it fixed income, stocks, options, ETFs, and, and funds.
We're licensed in the UK, in the US, in Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, South Africa.
So it's the opportunity for clients to connect with us all around the world.
We don't compete with them.
We are in we come from the institution.
Space and provide the full brokerage as a service opportunity for our partners.
That global digital perspective is so important at the moment.
Europe in particular is a really crowded space.
What do you think the growth areas are for Europe right now?
So in Europe, the young generation has woken up and understands that the pension system will not be.
Living the way it was supposed to be, so there is a consciousness about getting into investing in ETFs, stocks, and accumulating wealth for the future.
And this is the space we're engaged in.
We're enabling Fintechs to launch these solutions as a touch point in their.
In their organization in an embedded capacity, be it apps or mobile or desktop or web solutions, so much adjusting to what the people really need and want and that that optionality is so key.
I presume this relies on brilliant partnerships.
What do good GTN partnerships look like?
So a good partnership for us means we want the partner to shine in the relationship.
So when we think about what we did for Revolut is enabling their fractional fixed income trading for their customers.
So when you go to the Revolut app, you will be able to buy €1.01 dollar worth of bonds without seeing the complexity of the behind the scenes bond trading world, which is hyper complex.
So it's, it's one click, the execution is immediate.
The client has a brilliant experience which then helps revolute China.
And this is interesting, I think, because we're talking about the customer, you know, having the options, having the opportunity and to do what they need, but actually the plumbing in the background is what's changing, which I think is a question we've had at Money 2020 is, is it true innovation or are we just repackaging the same thing.
That that's a great question, and, and I think it's probably both, right?
So we want to make the experience as hassle-free as possible for the partner.
It means all of the complexity of, of settlement, custody, corporate actions, everything that happens in the investing process is provided from us via one API to the, to the partner.
I mean this is exactly what we need this seamless and yet transformative.
Exactly.
Well, Salem Zapata, thank you so much for joining me.
It was absolutely brilliant to have you on the show, and I hope you've enjoyed Money 2020 Europe this year.
Thank you very much.
It was great to be here.
Thank you.
