Central Ventures. TradeCore has broken ground with their platform and unique tools for brokers
and financial service providers, and will continue to grow their client base with the support of
SCV.
Capital markets are advancing quickly while complexity is increasing. Both large enterprises and
new companies are looking for ways to keep up with changes and optimize their businesses.
TradeCore is the provider they come to, to keep up with innovation, lower costs, increase
revenue, and stay in compliance with changing rules and regulations. Financial services clients
access a full platform, with the right set of building blocks and turnkey solutions. This allows
them to stay focused on their clients and expanding their business, rather than being sidelined
by developing custom software solutions by themselves.

backgrounds of the company’s founder and senior team allows TradeCore to uniquely operate
across FinTech, RegTech, payments and crypto verticals.
TradeCore “The Swissarmy Knife for FinTech”
TradeCore can be seen as AWS for FinTech, since its BrokerCloud platform allows clients to
make use of all the components that historically would have taken them a significant amount of
time to develop. As a result, clients can grow their infrastructure, manage costs, and enter the
market with a new product within weeks.
TradeCore’s flagship product BrokerIQ is a leading financial services CRM, providing a turnkey
solution for client onboarding, ID verification, payment processing and client management. It
enables users to accelerate their growth, increase revenue and conversions, whilst reducing
churn and improving engagement. A product in making — ComplyIQ will provide customers with
the ability to implement sophisticated KYC/AML workflows for individual and corporate clients,
significantly accelerating the onboarding process, and augmenting customer data with that of
leading industry service providers.
TradeCore’s products continually evolve to keep up with changes in regulatory and compliance
frameworks, and its customers operate in all major global regulatory jurisdictions.
