TOM, The Order Machine, combines the best possible execution of stock exchange
orders with an advantageous and transparent in-house platform. For clients of
connected banks, TOM seeks out the best price at which an order can be executed
on a variety of trading platforms. As a result of this, TOM is promoting the
competition required by MiFID between stock exchanges and alternative trading
platforms. Ultimately, the intended result is better prices for private end-investors.
TOM is a 50/50 joint venture between BinckBank and Optiver.
