Automating Collateral Management Workflows, Increasing Operational Efficiencies and Meeting Evolving Market Requirements

Client Challenge:

A major U.S. bank and clearing firm was experiencing significant challenges managing collateral for its cleared derivatives business. Faced with growing regulatory pressures and an increasingly complex financial landscape, the financial institution wanted to streamline its collateral management workflows, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure it was able to comply with evolving market requirements.

Specific processes presenting issues for the bank included:
