Pioneering Chinese Market Access

When the INE opened in 2018 as China's first international futures exchange, BANDS was an active participant from day one. When the DCE internationalised its iron ore contract less than two months later, BANDS represented 15% of all overseas clients active that day.

In 2021, BANDS was approved as an Overseas Special Brokerage Participant by the INE, becoming the first overseas trading member of a Chinese exchange.

Seamless Trading Experience

Based in Hong Kong, BANDS offers clients the ability to trade simultaneously in both the Chinese and international markets from a single account.
