It all begins with an idea.

TKA (Thomson Krummeck and Associates) have been providing products and services to the financial dealing community for over twenty years.

These products and services are built on a vast base of underlying experience gained from a wide array of market and technical vendors, such as Refinitiv and Bloomberg, as well as working with international Market Data inventory specialists like ScreenTRG and AFO.

Despite many competing vendors in the market, the constantly shifting nature of financial markets means our clients' needs constantly shift. With client concerns ranging from non-availability of specific products or services, to predatory vendor pricing or slipshod implementation, TKA has developed and sourced a range of products for dealing rooms based specifically on the unmet requirements of traders and brokers in the financial markets..

TKA has also contributed to the overall operation of specific financial market areas per se. The South African Gilt Market is based on technical products TKA developed back in 1993. In the past, our contributions products have ensured level playing fields for information vendors such as Reuters, Telerate, Bloomberg and I-Net/Bridge.

The above, complemented with a thorough understanding of turrets, voice and data connectivity systems, custom dealing keyboards, market data and real-time computer systems makes TKA your ideal dealing room technology partner.

In 2019, TKA underwent a change in ownership following the retirement of the founding members, Bill Thomson and Wolly Krummeck. TKA remains a family run business under the leadership of Kelvin Thomson, we proudly continue the spirit of technical innovation and solution-driven thinking that has been critical to the continued growth of this small but dynamic tech team.
