To extend collateral management workflows across Treasury and Capital Markets, with a special focus on MEA and APAC regions, SmartStream, the transaction management solution, has partnered with Finastra, the financial services software applications provider.
The SmartStream TLM Collateral Management solution was selected following a comprehensive evaluation of its functionality, user interface, deployment options, and seamless integration capabilities with Finastraâs solutions.
The partnership sees SmartStreamâs solution extending across Finastraâs Kondor and Opics treasury management solutions, to provide an enhanced and complete collateral management workflow. This combination helps to future-proof bank investment and navigate increasing regulatory requirements with the continued growth of OTC derivatives. Additionally, access to SmartStreamâs solution suite will enhance the offering by supporting data accuracy and regulatory compliance.
The solution will offer seamless integration into Finastraâs infrastructure, providing a high degree of automation and STP for collateral flows between counterparties. With its modern architecture and modular approach, clients can tailor the solution to their specific needs â supporting compliance with evolving regulatory demands and effectively managing increased margin call activity.
