Utilising Figaro’s full front-to- back office functionality will support Interactive Investor in managing high volumes and remaining compliant with regulatory requirements.
Richard Wilson, CEO of Interactive Investor, says: “Following a thorough review process, we are pleased to have appointed JHC as our platform provider of choice. The provision of highly-scalable and automated technologies is an important component in our vision to become the retail platform of choice for engaged investors.
