Murex partners with AWS to scale trading and risk solutions

By Vriti Gothi

Murex has partnered with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to accelerate digital transformation in capital markets. The agreement builds on a long-standing partnership between the two organisations and marks a step forward in the delivery of cloud-enabled, enterprise-wide trading, risk, and post-trade solutions.

The collaboration enables Murex to further scale its flagship platform, MX.3, into a suite of managed services powered by AWS. Through this evolution, financial institutions gain access to Murex’s comprehensive functional coverage delivered with enhanced agility, resilience, and security. The initiative is underpinned by AWS’s global infrastructure and cloud-native capabilities, supporting institutions in meeting regulatory requirements and driving operational excellence in increasingly complex market environments.

Central to the agreement is the expansion of MXSaaS, Murex’s software-as-a-service offering, and XVA as a Service, its advanced cloud-native solution for risk analytics. Both services leverage the elasticity of AWS computing to provide scalable, turnkey solutions, enabling clients to accelerate deployments, streamline upgrades, and reduce operational complexity. Since signing the agreement in June, Murex has already welcomed four new clients to MXSaaS, underscoring the value of this collaborative approach and consolidating its position as a mature, market-ready service.

“Financial institutions across banking, capital markets, and asset management are increasingly seeking cloud-based solutions that can reduce operational complexity while providing access to innovation,” said Charlie Sanderson, Director, EMEA Technology Partners, AWS. “This collaboration combines AWS’s proven infrastructure with Murex’s capital markets solutions to help customers increase agility and time-to-market, while maintaining the highest levels of security, compliance, and efficiency.”

“Financial institutions face mounting pressure from macroeconomic volatility, regulatory demands and cybersecurity concerns,” said Elias Eddé, Murex CEO. “Running mission-critical trading and risk management platforms requires significant infrastructure investment and specialised resources to continuously maintain operational resilience and performance. Jointly with AWS, Murex delivers them as a service today powered by AWS, in a further extension of capabilities that Murex has developed over a long time with AWS.”
