Our History

The fixed income markets continue to become increasingly electronic at a pace which is expected to feverishly accelerate over the coming years. It’s a trend that became clear early in the careers of MultiLynq co-founders Patrick Scheideler and Scott Collins. It was also the reason they leveraged their rich industry expertise to transform access to fixed income markets and provide market participants with more liquidity, access, and transparency than ever before. MultiLynq is the answer to a clear gap in the fixed income market, one that no other solution is capable of meeting when it comes to the industry’s ongoing demand for efficiency.

With a combination of capital market veteran knowledge and an unmatched technical prowess for financial services, fintech and fixed income, Patrick and Scott founded MultiLynq with a mission in mind to help revolutionize the bond markets, delivering the fastest and most reliable electronic trading solution for fixed income market participants. Fast forward to 2021, and MultiLynq has a number of well-known principal trading firms using their platform to provide seamless access to the full range of fixed income ECNs. It’s just one of the ways that MultiLynq delivers a professional-grade trading network to the industry.
