Ancoa Integrates Twilio Cloud Communication Platform for Trade Surveillance

The Twilio-incorporated trade surveillance platform from Ancoa is designed to detect and prevent irregular trading and market abuses. The platform includes transactional voice surveillance for voice-initiated trades, adopting a contextualized approach that overlays proprietary and real-time transactional as well as wider market data, with unstructured data sources such as electronic communications (email, text messaging, and instant messaging), social media, and financial news.

"Integrating our contextual surveillance platform with Twilio was smooth, adding voice surveillance and trade reconstruction capabilities, thereby improving the workflow for compliance officers and market operators such as LedgerX," says Stefan Hendrickx, founder and executive director of Ancoa. "In the future, we will be looking to extend the capabilities to our broker-dealer and investment bank clients."
