Goldman Sachs has signed an agreement with the Bolsa de Madrid to connect its PrimeAccess platform for online retail equities brokers to the Bolsa's Visual Trader order-routing system.

Visual Trader already gives Spanish brokers a single front-office system for trading on international equity markets. The agreement means that Goldman can now easily sell its PrimeAccess proprietary broking platform to Spanish online brokers and banks. In addition to access to the leading equity markets, PrimeAccess also offers real time international electronic execution, settlement and custody services to online retail brokers. Retail users have access to tailored Goldman research and to IPOs in which Goldman is involved that have a retail tranche.
