ETX Capital’s CEO Andrew Edwards comments that “International growth has been a key driver in our strategy since late 2010. We’ve seen strong growth in our international operations over the last 18 months which has encouraged us to continue focusing our efforts in new markets. We launched in France Q4 2012 and we’ve been very impressed with the return we’re seeing for our efforts. The launch of Italy and Romania expands our European reach even further and we’re excited to see these territories develop.”
