Trading update

Alpha FX (AIM: AFX), a foreign exchange and payments specialist working for corporates and institutions internationally, today announces a trading update for the year ending 31 December 2019.

Following the interim results announcement on 4 September 2019, the Board is pleased to announce that trading has continued to be strong. Growth continues to be derived from the core UK corporate market, European clients serviced from the London office, as well as the Institutional division and the broadening of the product base into currency options. The newly launched operations in Canada and Alpha Pay also continue to make positive revenue contributions to the Group.

As a result of the strong performance across all areas of the business, the Board expects earnings for the year ending 31 December 2019 to be ahead of current market expectations.
