CloudMargin, creator of the world’s first and only collateral and margin management solution native to the cloud, last night won the award for Best Technology Product – Collateral Management at the FOW International Awards 2018.  Presented at a gala dinner following the FOW Derivatives World London: The Debates conference, the awards celebrate the achievements of the top-performing global derivatives firms that have provided exceptional service and/or innovation to their clients and the industry this year.

CloudMargin CEO Steve Husk said: “We take great pride in this FOW award, which recognises the tremendous strides we’ve made in the past year on broadening our client base to even the largest financial institutions, further strengthening our platform, user interface and experience, substantially growing our revenues, and attracting major new investors. This could not have been achieved without the hard work of our truly talented team and the support of our terrific clients and partners.”
