NEUCHATEL, Switzerland, 2011-07-12 18:16 CEST (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 evaluated 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
