In a record-breaking year for entries, J.P. Morgan took the top spot for "Best use of Mobile" at the FSTech Awards for its Empire for iPad application. The app, designed to respond to the Emerging Markets (EM) clients' real-time needs, is the only one of its kind for EM users. It provides mobile access to J.P. Morgan's real-time analytics, research, historical data and asset details, and offers customizable real-time market views and interactive charting.

The FSTech awards recognize excellence in the field of information technology within the U.K., Europe, Middle East and Africa financial services sectors and emphasizes the importance of IT as a key driver in business.

The award celebrates the drive to allow the customer to interact with the financial services institution where and when they want by providing a seamless, secure experience, said FSTech.
