The foreign exchange market is a busy place, with most brokers offering broadly similar products. In this type of industry, the little touches can make all the difference in attracting and retaining clients. European CEO spoke to Anna Kochkina, Director of Key Projects at InstaForex, about the company’s strategy for differentiation and its plans for the future.
What services does InstaForex offer and how did the firm enter the market?
InstaForex specialises in providing services for trading in financial markets, especially in forex. The company started its activity in early 2007, with a focus on the fast-developing market of south-east Asia, and achieved its first triumph there. The second step was entering the markets of eastern Europe, and over the next few years we entered a new stage of growth when InstaForex brokerage services became available internationally. At the moment, InstaForex is a truly global brand with over 150 offices in more than 20 countries, and an acknowledged leader in its field with numerous industry and business awards. Good trading conditions, combined with 24/7 support, innovative trading tools and an attractive system of bonuses and promotions, make InstaForex the broker of choice for 2,000,000 traders all over the world.
Over recent years, InstaForex was among the first brokers to roll out PAMM accounts for fund management and investing
