BNP Paribas and NatWest Go Live with CobaltFX’s ‘Dynamic Credit’ for FX Credit Management

“By providing a standardized and digitized approach, and aggregating IT infrastructure across multiple venues, ‘Dynamic Credit’ gives banks unprecedented control to navigate fast-moving FX markets and proactively manage credit exposure,”
“This is a very important step in delivering a solution for credit providers, taking full advantage of new technical advancements.”

Since its acquisition by United Fintech in late 2022 and subsequent relaunch in early 2023, CobaltFX has gained notable traction.
“It as a prime example of United Fintech and partner companies collaborating to drive innovation in big banks’ digital transition. This aligns with the growing trend of banks and financial institutions seeking engagements with broader technology vendors to address compliance and security concerns effectively.”
