Tradu, a London-based multi-asset trading platform for active traders and investors, has formed a partnership with Salt Edge, a global leader in open banking and PSD2 compliance solutions.
According to Finextra, the collaboration aims to strengthen Tradu’s security framework, streamline compliance with European open banking regulations, and support expansion across the UK and EU.
The partnership was formed to enable Tradu to meet the strict demands of PSD2, particularly around strong customer authentication (SCA), fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. The collaboration also lays the groundwork for future enhancements to Tradu’s payment capabilities, including direct account top-ups through Open Banking.
Tradu provides access to thousands of tradable assets including equities, commodities, forex, treasuries, and indices. The platform focuses on delivering a simple yet rewarding trading experience, underpinned by robust security and a commitment to regulatory alignment across its growing European user base.
Salt Edge delivers full-stack open banking compliance solutions and offers technology that supports PSD2 alignment with minimal internal resource requirements. Its services include secure SCA-ready user authentication, fraud prevention tools, and optional features such as MCI exemptions and a custom third-party provider (TPP) portal.
As part of the partnership, Tradu is also preparing to implement Salt Edge’s Open Banking Gateway for Payment Initiation Services (PIS). This will enable users to top up their trading accounts directly from their bank accounts across both the UK and EU, enhancing the customer experience with fast, seamless, and secure payment functionality.
With plans to extend its wallet services across Europe, Tradu will benefit from Salt Edge’s connectivity to more than 500 financial institutions in over 20 countries. This broad access supports simplified compliance and integration at scale, aligning with Tradu’s growth ambitions.
Tradu product director and founding employee Tomasz Stupnicki said, “Security and compliance are at the core of our financial services. Our collaboration with Salt Edge enhances user trust, ensuring a seamless and protected financial experience.”
Salt Edge senior open banking solutions expert Dan Martalog said, “Secure and compliant access to financial data is no longer optional; it’s essential. Collaborations like the one between Salt Edge and Tradu are crucial for enabling innovative platforms to scale confidently while meeting strict PSD2 requirements. By providing seamless SCA and compliance tools, we’re helping Tradu focus on what matters most: delivering a trustworthy and efficient trading experience to its users.”
