smartTrade Technologies has announced the deployment of its trading and payments platforms on Amazon Web Services, integrating AWS infrastructure into a hybrid environment under a new strategic program called MetaCloud. The initiative is designed to accelerate smartTrade’s product innovation, automate deployments, and scale operations globally.
The company’s MetaCloud project allows smartTrade to run its solutions across both public and private clouds, offering clients flexibility in deployment while maintaining high-performance standards. The move combines the firm’s experience in ultra-low latency, multi-asset trading solutions with the elasticity and automation of cloud-native infrastructure.
“Positioning smartTrade to define the future of trading and payments technology”
David Vincent, CEO and Co-Founder of smartTrade Technologies, commented, “Building on AWS is about strategically positioning smartTrade to define the future of trading and payments technology. Leveraging the advanced infrastructure and services of AWS allows us to accelerate our innovation roadmap, particularly with advancements like our AI smart Copilot and advanced analytics services. This ensures we stay ahead of the curve, delivering cutting-edge, scalable solutions that will set our clients, and smartTrade, apart for years to come.”
The MetaCloud initiative is supported by the smartTrade Advanced Innovation Lab (SAIL), which integrates machine learning, generative AI, and real-time analytics into trading workflows. One key area of focus is front-office automation using large language models, allowing users to make faster and more data-informed decisions. The platform also provides enhanced analytics capabilities to mine trading and market data for operational insights.
smartTrade is using several AWS services including Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, Amazon Aurora, and AWS Direct Connect. These tools support automated provisioning, reduced deployment time, and dynamic scalability. The company reports the ability to spin up complete environments in under 15 minutes, significantly improving development and onboarding speed.
Scott Mullins, Managing Director of AWS Financial Services, commented,
“AWS’s capabilities augment smartTrade’s existing strengths, further accelerating their innovation roadmap, enhancing their market-leading platforms, and enabling the delivery of next-generation solutions to their clients. We are excited to provide smartTrade with AWS’s proven performance to push the boundaries of innovation in trading technology, enabling smartTrade to stay ahead of the curve, leveraging technologies like Generative AI and scalable infrastructure to power shape the future of its ultra-low latency trading and payments.”
smartTrade’s AI smart Copilot solution is one of the first products to benefit from the cloud-native architecture, optimizing both trading process management and client servicing. The company intends to scale this offering to a broader range of financial institutions as part of its next phase of growth.
The partnership with AWS positions smartTrade to support financial institutions seeking adaptable infrastructure for high-performance trading. It also signals a shift toward cloud-first strategies among market technology providers, particularly as generative AI and automation become central to client servicing and data management.
