Regional Broker Review<br />
>>><br />
However these are not our most important attributes.<br />
The people who make up the TMS team are the greatest<br />
strength of the <strong>com</strong>pany. We focus on people, as they<br />
are the way to the success of both customers and the<br />
<strong>com</strong>pany. I personally choose people for our crew and<br />
not only the knowledge they possess but personality is of<br />
a great importance. We are like a big family, where the<br />
atmosphere is building a strong morale.<br />
TMS was the first Polish FX brokerage <strong>com</strong>pany to<br />
be regulated by the Polish Securities and Exchange<br />
Commission. Do you believe being properly<br />
regulated is now a key requirement for all<br />
successful FX brokers and does it provide TMS with<br />
any <strong>com</strong>petitive advantages?<br />
We obtained a permit to conduct a brokerage business<br />
in 2004, be<strong>com</strong>ing the first licensed brokerage house<br />
for the FX market in Poland. Our business activity is<br />
in the custody of the Financial Supervision<br />
Commission (KNF), which assures the high standard<br />
of our services. By entrusting us with their money,<br />
customers can be sure that we won’t disappear from<br />
the market, because all of our activity is regulated by<br />
law, which excludes such a likelihood.<br />
Our professionalism and <strong>com</strong>pliance with the EU<br />
standards give our customers a sense of <strong>com</strong>fort and<br />
security. I believe that every broker should be monitored<br />
and regulated by law. It should not be a <strong>com</strong>petitive<br />
advantage, only the obligation of each institution<br />
involved with customers assets entrusted to them.<br />
What key financial services does TMS offer and what<br />
types of clients are you currently working with and<br />
seeking to attract?<br />
We are responding to new challenges within the global<br />
business environment and the key factors influencing<br />
our services in Poland are trends effecting most of the<br />
developed worldwide markets. The most important<br />
products and services within our offerings are:<br />
• Consulting advice on the risk management<br />
of Exchange rates<br />
• TMS Direct transaction platform<br />
• GO4X transaction platform<br />
• Financial information system<br />
Each of these products is targeted to a different<br />
audience.<br />
