Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria’s FX traders are now using the Progress Apama FX aggregation calculator for foreign exchange dealings in a move the firm said is aimed at expanding its client base.

BBVA said the platform will enable its traders to access advanced FX algorithms and optimized real-time FX prices for their internal and external customers. The FX aggregation calculator also allows traders to deploy customized dashboards to view and trade across aggregated liquidity from a range of banks and FX electronic communication networks.

“The drive of algorithmic trading and pricing continues to influence FX, and its growing popularity created a need for greater algorithm differentiation in the face of increased competition,” Apama co-founder and chief technology officer John Bates said in a statement.
