At FinClear, technology and progress are in our DNA. We are an independent, Australian owned and developed technology and financial services business, specializing in providing trading, execution, clearing and technology solutions to wholesale intermediaries, FinTechs, wealth managers and financial planners.

Our Financial Markets infrastructure could be likened to other major global platforms that deal with massive amounts of data and huge volumes of transactions that are executed in real-time to a vast audience. But unlike others, we own most of our regulatory and technology infrastructure enabling us to partner closely and move quickly to build solutions that are fit for purpose to better assist our clients.

FinClear was established in 2015 with offices now in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. We’ve almost tripled in size since the mid of 2021 and have further plans to grow with more platforms and services in the pipeline to be released. We have accomplished a lot, but our sights are set on what we haven’t done, and that’s the competitive advantage we offer to our clients and where you come in.
