The margin trading space has become increasingly competitive in recent years.  In order to maintain and expand market share, banks and brokers differentiate themselves along three major dimensions.  First, they can offer an array of financial products to their clients.  Second, they can offer attractive (lower) margin charges by utilizing sophisticated real-time margin calculations.  Third, they can offer superior levels of professionalism and client experience.   At the same time, they must balance these competitive demands with sound risk management practices to ensure that the bank is not exposed to excessive credit risk.  Financial Software Solutions has the only margin trading solution on the market that offers all of these benefits.
