BNY Mellon is introducing a series of enhancements to its automated deal matching service for tri-party repo clients that will allow clients to input, monitor and view trade matching status on a real-time, online basis.
BNY Mellon says the new capabilities will improve risk management practices among market participants. The enhancements support the Tri-Party Infrastructure Reform Task Force Recommendations issued in May 2010, and follow the April announcement that it had introduced auto cash substitution, another task force recommendation.
The trade matching service enhancements will allow dealers and cash investors to submit trade details according to 13 standard matching parameters via AccessEdge, BNY Mellon’s Web portal for tri-party repo clients, or either a SWIFT or proprietary BNY Mellon message format.
BNY Mellon will conduct an automated matching process, which will provide dealers and investors with a consolidated view of trade instructions, terms and modifications. In addition to the online functionality, dealers and investors will be able to submit trades and receive updates using real time messaging capabilities or via file formats using industry standard protocols. Vendors can also submit trades in this manner on behalf of market participants.
“By introducing these enhanced capabilities, we will significantly improve the timing, transparency and accuracy of tri-party settlements, which will lead to greater confidence and reduced risk in the market overall,” says James Malgieri, CEO of BNY Mellon Broker-Dealer Services.
John Morik, managing director of BNY Mellon Broker-Dealer Services, adds: “We are fully focused on providing clients with the tools required to accommodate the new market initiatives while continuing to deliver the operational, reporting and risk capabilities and expertise they have come to expect from BNY Mellon as a market leader.
