Why the name: It's literal
Why did the business start?: The original founder heard about this new thing called CFDs while on his obligatory London stockbroking apprenticeship during the tech-boom of the 90’s and thought Australian’s would like them. Built his own online CFD trading platform and was first in Australia to offer zero commission trading on CFDs. Using that knowledge the company pivoted into building a cloud-based ‘any market/use’ platform in 2014, then we launched the first version for trading ASX shares, in 2020.
