IronOne tantalized the audience with upcoming developments, unveiling the ATrad API Suite, featuring Seamless Bank Integration, an Investor Portal for onboarding and KYC management, and the introduction of the ATrad wealth management and ATrad primary dealer platforms. These additions epitomize IronOne and ATrad’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of finance and technology.

The event culminated on a high note, with officials from the Colombo Stock Exchange and our esteemed partners expressing excitement about the future of the stock market with ATrad. The “Beyond Horizons” launch event indeed set the stage for a new era in Sri Lanka’s stock trading landscape.
