TRADExpress Client Clearing

Disruptive innovation in multi-asset client clearing and real-time risk margining

Investment banks are facing unprecedented challenges, including pressure to reduce costs and deal with large-scale regulatory changes that have great impact on their clearing business. In addition, many have the burden of managing legacy IT infrastructures, often multiple system silos implemented over many years, which have led to inefficient and costly operations.
Cinnober’s TRADExpress Client Clearing is a revolutionary clearing solution offering straight-through processing from trade capture all the way to settlement. This multi-asset, real-time solution enables banks to integrate all their clearing flows, OTC as well as exchange-traded, in a single system, supporting operational efficiency and giving a comprehensive view of risks across asset classes.
Tried and tested at some of the world’s most demanding clearing venues, TRADExpress Client Clearing offers extreme performance, and brings true innovation to post-trade and clearing operations.
