The service, Reuters Wireless Delivery System, will provide 2500 employees in the bank’s investment banking division with personalized alerts, charts and UBS internal rates.

Peter Healey, managing director and chief operating officer of FX/cash and collateral trading at UBS, said, Our workforce is increasingly mobile and often needs to cover markets outside of normal opening hours. I am convinced that Reuters news and market data via BlackBerry will be a valuable asset.

In a world where financial service professionals are no longer tied to their desks there is a growing need for mobile solutions, added Peter Moss, global head of enterprise solutions at Reuters.
