MARKET EARLYBIRD WINNERS OF THE BSO AWARD FOR FINTECH INNOVATION

We are delighted to announce Market EarlyBird as the winner of the BSO Award for FinTech Innovation. The award recognises excellence in innovation expressed by business start-ups and new market entrants to the trading and technology sector.

The ITT Awards acknowledges excellence in trading technology within capital markets. With this award, we wanted to hone in on those smaller, up-and-coming firms with ambitions to progress the financial trading industry with their innovative technologies built to simplify and optimize trading operations.

Market EarlyBird are the deserved winners of the BSO Award for FinTech Innovation as a result of their breakthrough in the industry. After launching in 2015, Market EarlyBird had one goal in mind; to help financial professionals consume news in a relevant and convenient way through Twitter. Their software is already in use or being tested in the worlds’ top 20 global banks, and notifies users of news and current events in the financial industry direct from Twitter to enable traders and analysts to instantly identify trading opportunities and market movements before the news filters down to competitors.
