About TechFinancials

TechFinancials plc (AIM: TECH) is a leading proprietary software solutions company for online brokers delivering services for retail traders in binary options and other instruments. The Group operates a B2B division which provides software solutions for binary options brokers. TechFinancials also operates a B2C division in which it has an agreement with Optionfortune, a B2C binary options trading platform registered in Hong Kong.

TechFinancials listed on AIM in March 2015 to facilitate its expansion in the fast growing global binary options market which is expected to increase to c. $20bn in trade volume by 2016, double that of 2014 at c. $10bn (ForexMagnates). A major part of the Group's strategy is to increase its share in existing markets and to penetrate emerging and regulated markets with high growth potential.
