New initiative gives banks, brokers, fintechs, and asset managers API access, developer documentation, and client-accessible source code to build branded trading journeys on top of ZagTrader’s proven infrastructure layer.
Dubai, June 10 – ZagTrader, the capital markets technology provider, today announced the launch of Build on ZagTrader, a strategic initiative that repositions ZagTrader as the infrastructure layer financial institutions can build on not just a platform they operate.
The initiative responds to a clear shift in the market. Banks, brokerages, asset managers, and fintech platforms increasingly want to own their digital client journey for their brand, their UX, their mobile application, and their onboarding experience. At the same time, building the full capital markets infrastructure behind those experiences remains technically complex, operationally demanding, and costly to maintain.
The timing reflects a second shift: AI-assisted software development has dramatically reduced the time and cost of building front-end applications. Institutions with well-documented APIs, webhooks, and source code as a foundation can now design, prototype, and ship branded digital experiences faster than at any point before. In that environment, the differentiator is no longer the interface code itself, but the quality, depth, and reliability of the infrastructure and documentation underneath it.
Build on ZagTrader directly addresses this by giving clients access to ZagTrader’s APIs, webhooks, developer documentation, and client-accessible source code for web and mobile applications. Institutions can now build, extend, and customize their own front-end experiences while relying on ZagTrader for the infrastructure underneath including OMS/EOMS, market connectivity, FIX routing, multi-asset workflows, risk management, compliance, accounting, reporting, custody and settlement workflows, and integrations with exchanges, custodians, data providers, and KYC/AML systems.
Build the experience. ZagTrader powers the infrastructure
The initiative opens new delivery models across institution types. A bank can embed trading capabilities directly into its existing mobile banking application. A brokerage can build a fully differentiated, branded interface without replacing its operational core. A fintech can launch a new investment journey on institutional-grade infrastructure rather than starting from scratch. Existing ZagTrader clients can modernize their digital layers while preserving the platform they already depend on.
Build on ZagTrader positions the platform as a capital markets infrastructure layer rather than a fixed-interface system giving institutions front-end flexibility while ZagTrader maintains governance and control over the underlying technology.
