Markit Hub is a desktop service that provides financial professionals with easy access to the content that they would normally seek via multiple password protected websites. The service includes a set of tools and features that integrate portals and content on the client’s desktop. Single sign-on credentials provide immediate access to all entitled providers via the Markit Hub navigation banner. Advanced navigation and search tools provide fast access to a large set of rich and diverse content available from leading global banks and third party providers.

Markit Hub builds upon the functionality of Bond Hub and Markit Connex, both of which are existing Markit products. Approximately 20,000 unique individuals, representing 3000 investment firms, already use Bond Hub to access research and data from global banks. Markit Connex is a secure messaging and collaboration tool with a directory of over 250,000 professionals. The Markit Connex directory is now available on Markit Hub, with more integration between the two services planned for future releases.

Markit Hub expands on these services, providing users with additional bank and third party content. New filtering and full-text search functionality facilitates rapid access to the full suite of entitled content. Users can easily request new content providers that are available on Markit Hub to further expand their accessibility to news, independent research and industry experts. They can also access the full suite of data and desktop tools from Markit.
