History of TMS

Print

Over the last fifteen years, TMS Brokers has endeavoured to provide the highest standards of market leading trading and advisory services in the global foreign exchange markets. The origins of our company date back to the 1980’s, when Mariusz Potaczała – the company’s founder and Chairman – began his career in the financial markets in Germany and France.

Among the significant achievements for TMS Brokers was becoming the first licensed foreign exchange broker in Poland in 2004.

Despite the passage of time, we remain innovative in our approach to the market and undertaking new challenges. TMS Brokers offers a number of FX products and services that support a broad range of participants –from new market entrants to sophisticated investors, including some of the most dynamic and successful Polish corporations.

Unlike many of our competitors, TMS Brokers is acutely focused on the economic and political events that shape the global financial markets and is dedicated to delivering our market expertise to clients on a daily basis.

We continue to implement new technologies and online services for the currency markets, which include a number of FX execution and risk management models, and will continue to expand our instrument offerings to support client investment objectives.
