FX Markets Asia Awards 2026: The winners

FX Markets is proud to announce the winners of the Asia Awards for 2026. The roll of honour can be found below. We would like to congratulate all the firms on their achievements.

The ninth edition of the FX Markets Asia Awards recognises and showcases the best banks, trading platforms and technology providers in the Asia-Pacific region (Apac).

The awards recognise firms that have excelled in various roles in the currency markets – from liquidity and hedging solutions providers, to prime brokers, trading venues, and software or data vendors.

This year, the awards spanned 32 categories and attracted nearly 100 entries – a new record – of which 26 categories were awarded. In cases where the judging panel was not convinced by the candidates, the category was axed.

Among the highlights, UBS picked up four wins including overall FX house of the year for Apac, FX house of the year Japan, best Asia FX spot house and best FX single-dealer platform for Asia currencies. HSBC also took home four awards – FX house of the year China, best Asia FX forwards and swaps house, best FX overlay manager for Asian clients and best FX algo provider for Asia currencies.

Deutsche Bank landed two awards for South Korea and best Asia FX non-deliverable forwards house, while Barclays secured best Asia FX options house for the first time.

Bank of America returned to win best FX house of the year (G10 hours), while Citi and Crédit Agricole were awarded FX house of the year for India and Hong Kong, respectively. Local Apac banks CTBC and RHB Berhad also achieved awards for Taiwan and Singapore FX house, respectively, while MUFG was awarded overall FX house for the ASEAN region, and Standard Chartered won best FX prime broker for Asia.

In the venue, FX services and technology categories, 360t, Integral, LCH ForexClear, Quod Financial and SGX were also winners.

Choosing winners is never an easy task. Entrants submitted written pitches and the final decisions were made by a panel of judges, which included FX Markets’ editors, weighing a number of factors, including strategic clarity, growth, risk management discipline, innovation and adaptability, thought leadership, as well as a commitment to investing in the business. If decisions were tight, client feedback helped settle the issue. Judges were not allowed to contribute to categories where there may have been conflicts of interest.

The winners will be recognised at our FX Markets Asia event in Singapore on October 21–22. Congratulations again to our winners and thank you to all who entered this year’s awards.
