I have read in an euromoney article that FxAll is the choice of many corporate treasury departments, because they offer post-trade services that their competitors dont. There werent any details mentioned tho.

Thanks, shrike. That's good to know. Can you point us to a more up-to-date list?

Do you know what FXall's average daily volume is? Last I checked, Currenex was >$100B/daily, though still a far cry from EBS. Too bad the numbers aren't reported more often, I'm curious to see where FXall, Baxter and Lava reside.

If you go to the homepages of these firms, they all have a list of participating banks.

guess i was wrong.

More than 700 institutions have joined the FXall platform and our trading volumes continue to grow rapidly. Annual volumes exceeded $9.8 trillion in 2006, up from $6.7 trillion in 2005 and $4.9 trillion in 2004.

FXall is integrated to more than 60 of the world's leading foreign exchange banks. Between them, these market makers and service providers offer clients comprehensive research and post-trade services, as well as the deepest source of liquidity on the market.
