We're in the business of thinking of it first
We launched the first online foreign exchange trading service and the first online CFD trading service. We were the first CFD provider to enable traders and investors to set their own level of margin and the first to offer fractional ownership so you can buy or sell from as little as 1/1,000 of a unit. We’re always looking for ways to improve the retail CFD trading experience.
The latest innovations from CMC Markets
A recent independent survey by Investment Trends said we were the best known company for being innovators and for our technology. Rest assured, we’ll never stop innovating and our new technology proves it.
