Barclays Capital, the investment banking division of Barclays Bank, is to present its e-commerce platform to Kuwaiti financial institutions in conjunction with the Kuwait Financial Market Association (KFMA).
Justin Bull, head of e-commerce and European institutional sales at Barclays Capital, says the KFMA provides an ideal forum for the interaction and exchange of ideas with current and potential clients in the northern gulf.
Some 40 KFMA members, representing the majority of the state’s banking sector have been invited to the launch event, which will be held next week.
Delegates will be presented with the latest international e-commerce developments, including online trading systems and research.
Says Bull: “Barclays Capital e-commerce expertise was highlighted recently when we became the region’s first bank to launch an on-line foreign exchange e-commerce service, BarCap FX Trader, offering trading in 240 currency pairs and real-time, pre-deal credit checking.".
