Core-Payments®: Managing Post-Trade Risks

Transform how you identify, assess and manage post-trade risks – the way you want – with complete visibility and control across the entire operational lifecycle, wholesale payments process, all business silos and processes.

Real-time, Effective and Proactive Post-trade Risk Management and Control

Managing and controlling counterparty, operational, payment and liquidity risk, whilst balancing pressures to reduce costs and enable new revenue opportunities often presents significant challenges. Restricted by siloed systems and processes, delayed access to critical information, and a lack of automation, many risk managers struggle to put in place the processes and capabilities necessary to quickly identify, assess and mitigate risks – whilst retaining business efficiencies and competitiveness.

Designed to liberate risk managers from legacy constraints, our low-code, cloud-based Core-Payments solution enables capital market firms to consistently, effectively and proactively manage post-trade risk in real-time with complete visibility and control across all payment flows and business lines.

Introducing Baton’s no-code payment hold and release rules – just one of the ways Core-Payments provide risk managers with effective post-trade payment controls

Core-Payments Benefits:

For Risk Managers

Learn more about the benefits Core-Payments offers Risk Managers below.

Reduce Counterparty Risk

Be immediately alerted to and access on-demand real-time payment information to identify, assess and mitigate settlement risks. Then safely settle on a payment on payment (PoP) basis, implementing automated, conditional controls to ensure counterparty payments are only released once the counterparty has fulfilled their obligations.

Reduce Liquidity Risk with Enhanced Financial Resilience

Monitor and manage intraday liquidity in real-time, set low-code alerts to allow for the instant identification of issues. Assess the impact with access to real-time funding balances, available liquidity, exposures and payment forecasts. Then automatically adjust the sequencing of outbound payments to mitigate risk and avoid a liquidity shortfall. Furthermore, stress liquidity by currency or counterparty to enhance financial resilience.

Increase Capacity and Productivity Without Increasing Risk

Enable capacity growth without increasing risk by replacing manual processes with automation to enforce core policies without the need for exceptional approvals. Expand your market footprint by deploying automated safe-settlement via payment on payment (PoP). All powered with Baton’s cloud based technology.

Reduce Payments Risk

Immediately identify the “live” status of payments and receipts with any given counterparty and accurately assess the level of exposure. Then mitigate payment risk by quickly creating, and instantly activating, no-code payment rules to stop and control the release of all required payments and settlements across all business lines and payment flows.

Enhance Payment Supervision

Activate configurable real-time alerts and via Baton’s dashboards view consolidated data sourced from multiple systems and sorted into your preferred framework, in real-time, related to counterparty and liquidity exposures and operational data. Furthermore, our standardised workflow for handling exceptions includes an auditable approvals process.

Reduce Operational Risk

Replace manual processes with automated and simplified payment and settlement processes across client and business silos powered by collaborative, automated workflows. Be alerted in real-time to pending and realised settlement breaks and identify via your real-time dashboard operational bottlenecks and fails across all business silos and payment flows so resolution can quickly commence.
