History
SURFACExchange was granted EBOT status in 2009, and went live in August 2011, using Citi FX as its prime broker and central counterparty. Once the CFTC finalizes its rules for swap execution facilities ("SEFs"), SurfacExchange plans to apply for SEF designation.
Products and Services
SURFACExchange's ECN is comprised of the SURFACEwave graphical user interface (GUI) and SURFACEstream FIX 4.4 based Application Program Interface (API). [3]
SURFACExchange also provides historical market data including volatility, deposit rates, forward rates, and spot rate prices. Along with this, users have access to the company’s derivatives pricing software.
