The last year was one of the most difficult ever for the exchanges and brokerage industry, as lenders did their best to cope with a dramatically different landscape.
The World Finance editorial team in their research for this list examined the performance, client list and exchange activity of each platform by geographical region. Inclusion in this list is especially noteworthy given the exchange climate of 08-09. Congratulations to the winners.
