4. “I have worked with IQ Financial Markets for a while now. Our consultant has a great
understanding of our business needs, solid market knowledge and is a pleasure to deal
with. Apart from your expert consultant, the main reason for engaging IQ Financial Markets
was their presence within the banking industry and potential to deliver into most work
streams within the Bank. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.”
