Problem

The market suffers from a lack of availability of inventory data across organizations. There is a high volume of email traffic and multiple system log-ins to check inventory statuses. Frequently, trade settlements fail due to inventory management delays.

Solution

AccessFintech provides a collated view of inventory information across your entire organization including depot and stock on loan details. Open trades per security queried are displayed alongside inventory information to support fail prevention through informed requests.

Problem

Regulatory margin thresholds are being reduced year on year, requiring increasingly efficient management. In many organizations, margin is managed by instrument-specific teams, prevent cross product calculation that would allow for more efficient margin management. Discrepancies across all stages of the lifecycle are significant drivers of manual effort.

Solution

AccessFintech can manage cross product, with pre-warning of potential margin issues and auto reconciliation of exceptions using flexible systemic rules/tolerances.

Benefits

Problem

Repo confirmation is supported by multiple vendors, with banks often connecting to more than one provider to support client preferences. This high cost process also leads to lengthy onboarding for providers. Each vendor then sends and receivers information in their own preferred format, leading to either more build or increased manual effort for the banks.

Solution

We provide access to multiple vendors via AccessFintech’s VendorGateway which reduces onboarding, distribution and build costs. We normalize repo data to multiple vendors and clients and aggregate exceptions from relevant vendors. You can see a collated view of repo exceptions across clients and vendors.
