Frequently asked questions

How fast can we go live?

Implementations typically take a few months, depending on scope. Most brokers go live in phases: core trading and back office first, then more markets, products and channels.

Can the app carry our brand?

Yes. Portals, mobile apps, reports and client communications run fully under your brand, with no mention of the underlying vendor.

How is ZagTrader priced?

By the modules you choose, the number of users and the deployment model: a subscription for cloud deployments, or a perpetual licence for on-premise installations.

Which brokers run on it today?

Dlala Brokerage in Qatar has run its trading and back office on ZagTrader technology since 2016, and DFM's iVestor brokerage and back office run on ZagTrader technology too.
