oneZero Launches Swap Curve Manager to Transform FX Swap Pricing for Regional Banks
oneZero launches its Swap Curve Manager, a new FX swap pricing technology aimed at giving regional banks full control over swap curves, replacing older models where pricing and rates rely heavily on third-party tools. This solution empowers traders with real-time curve management, client-specific adjustments, and analytics all designed to reduce costs, improve responsiveness, and enhance transparency.
The Problem with Traditional FX Swap Pricing
For many regional banks, FX swap and interest rate curve management has long been fragmented and inefficient. These banks often use external vendors to supply curves, which are then imported into eFX platforms. There, they apply tiering, mark-ups, and other adjustments before quotes reach customers. This creates lag, adds cost, and reduces agility - traders can’t respond quickly to market changes or tailor pricing to client behavior.
In addition, many advanced pricing tools are prohibitively expensive or technically difficult to integrate, meaning smaller or regional institutions are left with simplified or reactive pricing strategies—relying on spreadsheets or internal tools that don’t scale well.
What Swap Curve Manager Offers
oneZero’s Swap Curve Manager is designed to consolidate and modernize how FX swap pricing is done, especially for regional banks. Key features include:
-
Real-time curve control: Traders can adjust swap curves dynamically as rates shift, rather than waiting for updates from outside vendors.
-
Multiple data source support: The system supports feeds like New Change FX Forwards365, allowing for rich input into pricing models.
-
Client-specific adjustments: Customize rate tiers, skew, volume rungs (volume-based pricing levels) to match particular clients or trading segments.
-
Embedded analytics & visibility: Traders see curve evolution, supply and demand trends, trading flows, and can spot anomalies or performance issues using visual dashboards rather than disjointed tools.
-
Flexible integration: The platform can be used standalone, integrated into a bank’s existing pricing engine via oneZero’s APIs, or plugged into oneZero’s Hub product.
Why Regional Banks Stand to Benefit Most
Regional banks, which often operate with more constrained IT budgets and without the scale of big global institutions, are typically disadvantaged in FX swap markets. They face high licensing or vendor costs, delays in updating pricing models, and operational risk through manual workflows. Swap Curve Manager is specifically meant to level the playing field by giving them enterprise-grade tools without the same overhead.
By reducing reliance on third-party systems and spreadsheets, these banks can:
-
React more quickly to shifting interest rate and FX markets.
-
Improve margin control by adjusting markups and pricing tiers tailored to risk and volumes.
-
Enhance transparency for both traders and clients, leading to better trust and potentially more business.
-
Lower technical and operational costs, freeing up resources to invest in other risk or product innovations.
Strategic Context & oneZero’s Vision
Andrew Ralich, CEO & Co-Founder of oneZero, says the launch recognizes long-standing feedback from regional banks: the need for greater transparency, lower cost, and more hands-on control by traders. With Swap Curve Manager, oneZero is aiming to make advanced FX swap tools more accessible and practical for those outside large-institution circles.
This technology builds on oneZero’s reputation in multi-asset enterprise trading tech, including its Hub, EcoSystem, and Data Source offerings. The firm is continuing to invest in making pricing, trading, and analytics functions more integrated, flexible, and trader-centric.
