About us

Built in Bergen, for people who take markets seriously

We started Fjord Markets because we wanted a broker we would use ourselves — one that publishes its pricing and stands behind its execution.

Mission

Make the cost of trading legible

Most traders lose more to opaque pricing than to bad calls. Our mission is to make every component of that cost visible before an order is placed, and reconcilable after it is filled.

Transparent pricing

Every spread, commission, and fee is disclosed before the trade. No last-second markups.

Disciplined execution

We route orders to the venues that give the best outcome for the order, not for us.

Institutional infrastructure

From colocation to FIX APIs, our stack is built to the standards of the world’s largest desks.
