MIG BANK Partners With Penson Futures


NEUCHATEL, Switzerland, July 12, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIG BANK, the first Forex broker to become a Swiss bank, has recently announced a new strategic business alliance with Penson Futures to accommodate the recent changes in legal regulations for U.S. clients.

The new Dodd-Frank act implements changes that affect the foreign exchange Industry, which means MIG BANK will no longer be able to provide online trading services for U.S. clients effective at the end of trading on July 15, 2011.

Ahead of this deadline, MIG BANK is proud to announce they have selected Penson Futures as their new White Label partner for U.S. Clients. Penson Futures echoes many of the same values and services as MIG BANK – clients will continue to trade with the same advanced technology, integrity and high levels of transparency they have come to expect at MIG BANK.

After the announcement Hisham Mansour, CEO at MIG BANK responded by saying:

"Forming this new partnership with Penson Futures is an exciting time for us here at MIG BANK. We have been evaluating many potential partners, and decided on Penson Futures as they strongly reflect our core business values. The migration process for existing U.S. clients will be simple, and all clients will receive individual instructions ahead of the deadline."

John Streich, Penson Futures' President and Chief Executive Officer stated that: "Penson Futures is very pleased to be working with MIG Bank. Their business model and standards complement our own and working together we believe we can offer transitioning clients continuity of the high standards of service they expect."
