In a market with too many smaller and newer brokers that don’t have an established track record, clients have indicated they are interested in establishing a long-term relationship with a reputable bank that has offered top-level FX services to clients around the world for decades.

Kalita Finance has been online since 2002 so they must be doing something right, however there is no way I could recommend this broker just based on their web presence. When I visited the site it was very old looking (circa 2004) and difficult to maneuver. In addition it is full of broken links, blank pages and the information about working with the company is quite vague and in some cases difficult to locate. I know the look and usage of the website may not be the best indicator of the qualities of the broker, however when trading forex online we are dealing with fairly complex electronic systems and one would think that the broker would also use their technical expertise to showcase their business on the web.
