Simplifying the Complex: A New Approach to Trade Lifecycle Management in Securities Financing

“Why is this process still so complex?” It’s a familiar question, where managing the lifecycle of a trade often feels like navigating through a maze. From trade matching to rate changes and reconciliations, each step demands careful coordination and manual interventions can lead to inefficiencies and errors. The industry is asking for change.

Wematch’s digital platform simplifies these complexities through automation. By integrating real-time data and API connectivity, we enable institutions to automate key processes like trade matching, collateral management, and reconciliation. This streamlined approach not only speeds up processing but also reduces the risk of human error.

Key Benefits of Wematch’s Lifecycle Management Solution

  • Reduced Operational Risk: Automating events such as recalls, substitutions, and corporate actions ensures trades are processed accurately. Wematch’s Cash Flow Management Tool creates synchronised trade records and independently calculates cash flows, minimising errors and improving compliance.
  • Increased Efficiency: API connectivity and automated reconciliation allow institutions to process large volumes of trades seamlessly. This means that tasks previously requiring manual intervention can now be completed automatically, freeing up resources for strategic activities.
  • Enhanced Transparency: Wematch provides a detailed audit trail for each trade lifecycle stage. Tools like the Collateral Lifecycle (FRM) maintain a full history of events, offering transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Better Data Accuracy: Real-time data integration removes the need for manual entry, enhancing accuracy in trade and collateral management. Our Data & Contribution Service provides transparent data points that support the observability and standardisation of the TRS funding curve.

Addressing Implementation Challenges

Automation is the future. We tackle this head-on with API-based connectivity that syncs seamlessly with internal systems. Onboarding is quick, with many integrations completed in just a few weeks, ensuring institutions can rapidly adapt to a more efficient way of managing trades.
