Collateral processing is becoming significantly more complex due to global financial reform. The need for collateral is expected to grow, yet the enhanced market safety and soundness intended by the new rules (Basel III, Dodd-Frank, EMIR and similar legislation in other jurisdictions) will be lost if global operating infrastructure cannot keep pace.

It brings together two of the industry’s largest post-trade market infrastructures to develop and streamline margin settlement processes, and to enhance open access to securities collateral irrespective of location, thereby improving the stability and soundness of financial markets.
