BlackBerry® and Windows Mobile® access for brokerage clients

London – July 21st 2008 – GFI Group (Nasdaq: GFIG) has launched CreditMatch® Webview – a light version of CreditMatch, its highly successful electronic trading platform for bonds and credit derivatives.

CreditMatch Webview provides non-interactive access to CreditMatch via web browsers and internet-enabled mobile devices.

“GFI’s brokerage clients want to be able to view the credit markets other than solely through CreditMatch’s desk top application and CreditMatch Webview delivers exactly this: access anywhere for CreditMatch clients”, said Matt Woodhams, Webview’s chief engineer. “Its availability on mobile devices anywhere significantly increases its value for people on the move.”

CreditMatch Webview will be rolled out first in Asia-Pacific.
