The collaboration combines FXCM’s established technology with Patria’s expertise in capital markets and professional, customer-focused service.
Patria Direct required a solid platform with fast execution, and chose FXCM’s No Dealing Desk technology to provide clients the opportunity to trade forex with transparent pricing, fair execution and tight bid/ask spreads. Patria aims to become the leading forex and CFD provider in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
Using FXCM’s award winning platform (named Best Retail FX Platform by FX Week’s 2009 e-FX Awards), clients of Patria Forex will have access to a wide range of forex pairs, including USD/CZK and EUR/CZK, as well as popular CFDs on equity indices and commodities.

Patria Direct is fully licensed by the Czech National Bank for trading domestic and international securities. As a result of this cooperation, Czech and Slovak forex traders can trade with the same FXCM technology they may have used before, but with a local market leader under local regulation.
“Patria Forex is an excellent means of broadening our offerings, particularly to active traders,” said Oldřich Pavlovský, Managing Director of Patria Direct. “Cooperation with FXCM ensures top quality trading conditions for our clients, so overall it is a superb match with both our firm-wide standards and long-term strategy.”
