GCI Financial Wins Best European Broker 2012 Award from Global Banking and Finance Review

GCI, one of the most enduring names in online trading, this year was named "Best European Broker 2012" by Global Banking & Finance Review . The achievement represents a triumph for founder Mitch Vazquez, who started GCI more than ten years ago with the goal of offering online trading in foreign exchange and other products to traders around the globe.

According to Global Banking & Finance Review, "The awards recognize the innovative banking, investment strategies, and achievements, progressive and inspirational changes within the financial sector." The Forex industry has certainly seen dramatic changes over the last decade with an influx of new entrants and changing market conditions. How has GCI managed to distinguish itself so prominently?

According to Ella Fuller, head of Marketing at GCI, "Our clients tell us that our spreads, customer service, and broad breadth of instruments help make GCI their preferred broker and we aim to exceed their expectations every day."

Fuller adds, "Mitchell Vazquez helped pioneer this industry when he established GCI over ten years ago as one of the first retail Forex brokers. His decision set up GCI as a strictly overseas business and forego US clients was based, in part, on his desire to focus on regions where retail foreign exchange trading is more popular and can be conducted in a more compatible regulatory environment. With GCI, has created a firm that is singularly focused on customer satisfaction."
