Trade Nation is a global online trading broker offering access to forex, indices, commodities and equities. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in London, the company operates across 170+ countries and gives customers access to more than 1,000 global markets.
As the business expanded internationally, its payments operation had to support more markets, providers and customer preferences without compromising performance, visibility or the customer experience. Trade Nation partnered with Praxis to bring its payment experience, connectivity, optimization and reporting together through one platform.
International expansion brought greater complexity to Trade Nation’s payments operation. The challenge was not simply connecting more providers. Each new market added more moving parts to manage:
Trade Nation needed a payment setup that could support continued expansion without becoming increasingly fragmented. The priority was to improve performance while giving the team greater visibility and control across its payment ecosystem.
Praxis brought Trade Nation’s payment experience, global connectivity, optimization and reporting together through one platform, backed by dedicated payments expertise. This gave the team a more connected way to manage payment performance across providers and markets as the business continued to grow.
Praxis Cashier gave Trade Nation a payment experience tailored to its customers. Rather than treating the customer-facing experience separately from the underlying payment operation, the Cashier sits within the wider orchestration setup, helping Trade Nation manage the experience alongside its providers, payment methods and optimization strategy.
Praxis’ optimization capabilities route, retry and recover payments based on performance. This helped Trade Nation reduce the impact of failed payments and continuously improve how transactions were handled across its provider setup.
By applying optimization across the payment flow, the team could focus not only on whether a provider was connected, but on how effectively each payment was being processed.
Trade Nation could connect PSPs and local payment methods through one platform, supporting different payment requirements as it entered and operated across new markets.
This centralized connectivity gave the team a more scalable foundation for international growth, while keeping its payment setup connected through Praxis rather than managing each market in isolation.
Centralized payment reporting gave Trade Nation a clearer view of performance and operations across its payment setup. The team could see how payments were performing across providers and use that visibility to support ongoing optimization.
Alongside reporting, 24/7 payment monitoring helped identify and resolve payment issues quickly, adding another layer of operational oversight as transaction activity scaled.
Technology was only part of the solution. Dedicated payments specialists worked alongside Trade Nation on payment strategy, performance and optimization, giving the team additional expertise as its requirements evolved across markets.
This combination of orchestration technology and payments expertise supported a more proactive approach to payment performance rather than simply maintaining integrations.
From January 2025 to July 2026, Trade Nation recorded measurable improvements across its payment operations.
Praxis’ optimization capabilities recovered 3.8% of approved payment volume during the period. By routing, retrying and recovering payments, Trade Nation was able to capture volume that could otherwise have been lost through failed transactions.
Trade Nation’s approval ratio increased by 4.9pp over the period. The improvement reflects stronger payment performance as transactions were optimized across the provider setup.
Trade Nation expanded its payment reach across more than 50 markets, with Praxis supporting the connectivity and payment infrastructure needed to operate across different regions.
Together, these results demonstrate the wider impact of payment orchestration: improving the performance of individual transactions while also giving the business a stronger foundation for international scale.

Trade Nation continues to expand into new markets, bringing new payment requirements, customer preferences and performance considerations with each stage of growth.
