Margin Call

Quinn Perrott, Co-Founder of TRAction Fintech

Quinn Perrott (@QuinnPerrott) is the Co-Founder & General Manager of TRAction Fintech, a regulatory technology business.

Quinn has been a long time operator in the Retail Forex space, whether it’s running leading businesses like City Index and AxiTrader, or deciding to create a business in the niche space of regulatory technology.

What I like about Quinn is his fair assessment of where the industry is placed, and where it needs to go to improve the experience of the consumer. He has a unique perspective as a long time operator, with his knowledge helping average traders to understand the market and industry participants to better understand their business.

This chat with Quinn was a great insight into what key elements define the RegTech business, and what he learnt as a former operator in Forex. We covered numerous topics, including:

  • Living in Cyprus
  • His path to Forex
  • Starting TRAction Fintech
  • What he misses about the FX/CFD businesses
  • New regulation from GFC
  • How blockchain tech can impact reporting
