The number of clients using the on-line trade system COBOS reached 3095 towards end of May. Only last month the number increased by 46 more people, shows BSE data made available to profit.bg.

The slowest growth is in the number of active certificates. The reason for this might be the decision for amendments within the Rules for registration and operation of the system for electronic submission of orders.

According to these amendments one person (whether Bulgarian or foreign, natural person or juristic person) can only be a client to one COBOS subscriber and can only posess one certificate for accessing the system.

Last month six of the top 20 intermediaries increased the number of their clients, four kept the same number and 50% of all intermediaries saw a drop in the number of certificates of between 1 and 11.

The top 3 on the list of intermediaries holding more than 100 certificates are IP Karol, Elana Trading and Bench Mark Finance. Ug Market pushed Post Bank from fourth to fifth position and Standard Investment ranked sixth.

Others who made it in the top 10 are Sofia International Securities, Kapman, Bora Invest and Popular Casa 95.
