A Top Trading Platform with a Large User Base
As a leading Forex and CFD trading corporation trusted by over 60,000 customers in 100+ countries, Axi needed to provide a flexible, seamless trading experience. That experience had to start with payments. Traders expect to deposit and withdraw funds quickly and securely, using the methods they already rely on. Meeting that expectation meant integrating a broad mix of local and international payment options, including cards, bank transfers, and region-specific alternatives, to serve both established markets and fast-growing, emerging regions where preferences vary widely.
The company faced a dual challenge. First, they needed to expand their global reach by integrating numerous PSPs in a timely manner. Second, this rapid integration had to be executed with the highest level of security and consistency to protect users and maintain regulatory compliance. In practice, that meant enforcing uniform flows, reliable reconciliation, and strong safeguards without slowing down the rollout of new PSPs.
To achieve this, Axi needed a reliable technology partner with a proven track record in building secure integration solutions and deep expertise in the trading services industry to accelerate their global expansion plans.
Enrich the Payment Options Through High-Velocity Integrations
Axi’s challenge demanded a partner who could provide not just technical skill but also deep domain knowledge and a structured, rapid execution model. They needed an integrated team that could hit the ground running and deliver results fast, without compromising quality or security.
KMS provided Axi with a dedicated team to own the PSP integration roadmap, from analysis to deployment. The team established a disciplined, four-stage process for each PSP implementation.
1. PSP Analysis
Requirements were captured through joint discovery sessions with Axi and the PSP. The team mapped payment flows, currencies, settlement models, refund and chargeback lifecycles, and regional constraints. Risks, assumptions, and dependencies were logged early. Technical due diligence covered authentication methods, webhook formats, idempotency, error codes, rate limits, SLAs, and sandbox readiness.
2. PSP Implementation
Engineers built integrations behind feature flags and service contracts to keep changes isolated and safe. The work included API orchestration, webhook handling, retry and backoff policies, and reconciliation jobs.
Each integration followed shared libraries and templates to ensure consistency. CI pipelines ran unit, contract, and integration tests against PSP sandboxes. Documentation and runbooks were maintained from the start so handoffs would be smooth.
3. Code Review by Axi
Pull requests were reviewed jointly by KMS and Axi for style, performance, security, and maintainability. Reviews checked for adherence to standards, observability coverage, and backward compatibility. Test evidence, sequence diagrams, and configuration inventories were attached to each change so reviewers had full context and approvals could proceed without delay.
4. Deployment & Testing
Releases followed a progressive path from staging to production with canary exposure and detailed monitoring. The team executed end-to-end payment scenarios, failure drills, and reconciliation checks. Post-deployment verification validated success criteria, and playbooks were updated based on live findings.
“Our dedicated software development team worked closely with the client to provide multiple payment options to traders worldwide. We have leveraged APIs and other technologies to enable seamless communication between the payment gateways and their trading platform, ensuring that payment transactions are secure, fast, and reliable.”
The core of the solution was a relentless focus on speed and predictability. The team established a plan to deploy one PSP every two weeks and complete more than five integrations per quarter
Moreover, understanding that online brokers are prime targets for cybercriminals, the KMS team prioritized security throughout the engagement. We leveraged APIs and other technologies to enable seamless, secure communication between the payment gateways and Axi’s trading platform on Azure Service Bus, ensuring all transactions were fast, reliable, and compliant with industry standards.
Quickly Capture Traders Around the World
The partnership with KMS Technology provided Axi with a powerful force for global expansion, transforming its ability to enter new markets and serve a diverse customer base. By deploying a dedicated team with deep domain expertise, Axi can now meet the demands of its growing user base while ensuring platform security.
Within 5 months, the KMS’ dedicated software development team successfully configured, tested, and deployed 9 PSPs in LATAM (Latin America), the UK, Bulgaria, Nigeria, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc.
The rapid expansion of payment options has led to a significant increase in successful transactions, hastening turnaround times and improving customer conversion. The PSP implementation process is continuously applied to other payment gateways to continue Axi’s global expansion, allowing it to quickly capture new opportunities and solidify its position as a leader in the online trading industry.
