About Touch-Fire

Pioneering innovative financial technology solutions since 2010

Who We Are

Our founders have been deeply involved in the evolution of financial technology in Asia since 1995. From building and customizing trading systems within Japanese exchanges and brokers to leading the development of full exchange solutions across Asia, our team has consistently delivered innovative solutions for regulated markets. This deep experience, coupled with technology leadership roles in organizations like the FIA, gives us a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing today's financial markets.

In 2010, Touch-Fire was created to focus on turning visionary ideas into tangible and innovative solutions — especially those that don't fit the mold of off-the-shelf products.

This has often meant that we partner with forward-thinking leaders who are looking to disrupt the market with fresh initiatives. In our uniquely collaborative approach, we work closely to pinpoint the opportunities and craft solutions that redefine what's possible.

To achieve this and help our clients gain first-mover advantage, our team has developed a suite of compatible components and libraries that can be seamlessly assembled for rapid deployment.

Our dedicated team then provides around-the-clock technical and operational support for these high-availability systems, 24 hours a day.
