SMART Share & Securities Limited has received FIX Certification from the Dhaka Stock Exchange PLC (DSE), allowing the firm to operate its own Order Management System (OMS) through API connectivity. The certification was officially handed over during a ceremony at the DSE Training Academy in Nikunja, where thirteen brokerage houses were recognized. The event was presided over by Mominul Islam, Chairman of the DSE.
What is FIX Certification?
The FIX, or Financial Information Exchange, protocol is an internationally recognized standard for electronic trading communication. Certification allows brokerage houses to connect their systems directly with the stock exchange through secure APIs. This advancement enables faster and more efficient order execution, reduces the chance of human error, and improves overall transparency and reliability in trading. For Bangladesh, the move signals steady progress toward adopting modern infrastructure in its financial markets.
SMART Share & Securities’ Perspective
Receiving the certification on behalf of the company, Nur Mohammad, Managing Director of SMART Share & Securities Limited, emphasized the importance of this achievement. He described it as a major step forward in offering clients trading services that are quicker, more efficient, and driven by technology. He also highlighted the company’s ongoing focus on innovation, transparency, and client satisfaction, noting that the certification will strengthen its ability to provide world-class trading experiences for investors in Bangladesh.
Why It Matters for Investors
For investors, the adoption of FIX-certified systems translates into faster and more secure trading experiences. As brokerage houses integrate API-based OMS technology, clients benefit from smoother transactions and enhanced reliability. This improvement not only increases efficiency but also builds greater confidence in the market.
A Step Toward Modernization
The Dhaka Stock Exchange’s decision to award certifications to multiple brokerage firms highlights its commitment to advancing the country’s capital market infrastructure. As more firms adopt FIX-based systems, Bangladesh’s trading ecosystem is expected to become more competitive, efficient, and better prepared to meet the evolving demands of both local and international investors.
