GTN and Koscom Partner to Build Global Order Hub for Korean Securities Firms

Subscribe to our newsletter

Global fintech provider GTN has signed an agreement with Koscom, the IT infrastructure provider for Korea’s capital markets, to develop a ‘Global Order Hub’. Signed on 16 June in Seoul, the partnership creates a next-generation order-routing infrastructure, offering Korean securities firms a single gateway to international markets. Under the deal, GTN will act as a single counterparty providing market access, while Koscom will deliver the underlying infrastructure.

Koscom, which is majority-owned by the Korea Exchange, the Korea Securities Depository, and local securities firms, selected GTN due to its multi-asset coverage and institutional network. Alongside this agreement, Koscom and GTN have signed a memorandum of understanding with Korean fintech QV Labs Inc. This separate collaboration aims to introduce value-added services, including global investment data for local investors and transaction cost analysis for overseas orders.

The agreement further expands GTN’s footprint in the Asia-Pacific region. It follows the firm securing a Type 1 licence from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission in March 2026, establishing a regional dual-hub alongside its existing operations in Singapore.
