Finance Magnates named the recipients of its 2026 awards at a ceremony in Limassol, Cyprus, on 6 November 2026. The honours cover companies in online trading, financial technology, payments and financial services, as well as two executives selected for B2C and B2B CEO awards.
The programme divides brokerage honours among global, regional and national markets. Separate B2B categories recognise institutional providers, firms serving brokers and companies supplying broker technology. The results include trading venues, proprietary trading firms and vendors spanning liquidity, infrastructure, risk and payments.
Broker awards span markets
The B2C results range from broad international awards to country-specific recognition. The global list includes brokerage and prop firm categories, while regional awards cover MENA, LATAM, Asia, Africa and Europe.

Cristian Vlasceanu, CEO of Centroid Solutions, received the B2B CEO award. The announcement says the company developed its One-Centroid Ecosystem under his leadership, adding a multi-asset trading platform and CLM/CRM to its connectivity bridge, risk engine and network infrastructure solutions.
The integration question
For broker and prop firm operators, the results point to a broad set of systems, from bridges and risk tools to payments, CRM and trading platforms. The awards do not say which products connect to one another, what deployment models they support or whether any integration changes are planned.
Teams assessing a provider should check whether its product overlaps with their existing stack, and ask about interfaces, data flows, reconciliation, reporting, operational support and total running costs. The source does not provide technical specifications or commercial terms, so those details need to be confirmed directly with each vendor.
