The Case for Strategic Collaboration on Securities Finance Technology

In recent years, securities finance desks at banks and financial institutions have undertaken digital transformations, digitising many previously manual processes for greater efficiency, transparency and risk reduction. 

When building technology to support these efforts, institutions can either develop fully in-house or collaborate with a specialised vendor like Wematch.live. While in-house development provides control, strategic collaboration offers advantages:

  1. Accelerated time-to-market by leveraging our purpose-built platform rather than building from scratch. Our out-of-the-box solution can be implemented in weeks.
  2. Cost savings from avoiding major upfront capital expenditures and ongoing developer costs. Our solution is an operating expense priced per user. 
  3. Complementary domain expertise from our team’s decades of securities finance experience at top banks. This complements in-house knowledge.
  4. Continuous platform innovation and new features, enabling users to benefit from the latest advancements.
  5. On-demand scalability to support business growth without expensive re-platforming. We provide unlimited scalability in the cloud.
  6. Out-of-the-box regulatory compliance capabilities to meet complex regulations like SEC Rule 15c3-5.

This collaboration is a partnership where our platform amplifies and supports in-house teams’ great work. By combining the best of both, we can drive industry progress and create lasting value for securities finance desks. The complex problems facing the industry are best solved together.

In today’s fast-changing markets, agile yet robust technology platforms are needed. While in-house development provides control, the complexity, time and costs can be prohibitive. Strategic collaboration can accelerate digital transformation and deliver ongoing value.
