About MERJ Exchange

MERJ Exchange is an innovative end-to-end, multi-market global financial exchange for equities, debt and derivatives.

Introduction

MERJ Exchange Limited is the operator of MERJ Exchange, the only licensed securities exchange in the Republic of Seychelles. MERJ has established and administers rules for the listing, trading, clearing and settlement of securities and other financial instruments.

MERJ Exchange Limited and its wholly owned group companies collectively operate the entire end-to-end exchange and post trade infrastructure, covering exchange, clearing, settlement, registry and depository services.

Our Background

MERJ Exchange Limited, formerly Trop-X (Seychelles) Limited, was incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles in 2011. The exchange went live in 2013. Over time, the MERJ founders and key strategic partners acquired a diverse and complimentary range of skills, ranging from securities, regulations, banking, IT, fund administration, project management and other areas within financial services.

Global trade is in the DNA of Seychelles, making it a fitting location for a global exchange. Seychelles lies at the heart of the old Indian Ocean trade routes which were traversed by Asian, Arab and African traders for centuries. Seychelles now boasts a modern international financial services portfolio, a forward thinking financial services regulator, low taxes, fibre optic connectivity and more, making it the ideal location from which to operate a modern, global exchange.
