Fast and furious: the T+1 transformation of core systems
Fast and furious: the T+1 transformation of core systems

The securities financial services industry has embarked on a significant transformation with the transition to a T+1 (trade date plus one day) settlement cycle. This shift promises to enhance market efficiency, reduce counterparty risk, and improve liquidity. However, the move to T+1 also presents a series of complex challenges for post-trade participants, particularly in the realm of core systems technology. Yet, in adversity lies opportunity. By addressing these challenges head-on, organisations can not only comply with market demands but also gain a competitive edge, suggests ERI’s Alan Goodrich.

Transforming wealth management in the US: how digital platforms enhance efficiency and client engagement while ensuring compliance
Transforming wealth management in the US: how digital platforms enhance efficiency and client engagement while ensuring compliance

The US banking and particularly the private wealth industry stand at a crossroads, grappling with the dual challenges of meeting escalating demands for efficiency and innovation while adhering to stringent regulatory requirements. This balancing act is exerting unprecedented pressure on financial institutions, compelling them to re-imagine their operational strategies and service models.

Driving Digital Transformation in Banking

Driving Digital Transformation in Banking. In an era of rapid technological advancement, the banking industry finds itself at a critical crossroads. As financial institutions strive to meet evolving customer expectations, comply with stringent regulations, and fend off disruptive competitors, IT transformation has become more than a buzzword – it’s now essential for survival and growth.

The True Total Cost of Ownership of Core Banking Systems
The True Total Cost of Ownership of Core Banking Systems

In an era where digital transformation is reshaping the financial services industry, core banking systems are the nerve centre for day-to-day operations. While organisations often prioritise finding the most cost-effective core banking solution, the true TCO often lurks beneath attractive headline prices. Understanding these additional fees and charges is crucial for decision-makers.

Inside Out 2.0 – Has anxiety come to stimulate a post-trade transformation?
Inside Out 2.0 – Has anxiety come to stimulate a post-trade transformation?

The financial industry is undergoing a transformative shift driven by innovations in open banking and financial services, alongside regulatory advancements like the proposed Financial Data Access (FIDA) regulations in the EU, and the global adoption of ISO20022 for SWIFT messages. Technology and efficient operations are inseparable topics and change often creates anxiety. However, embracing the transformation, inside out, is the path to future growth.

In an era defined by rapid technological advancements and evolving customer expectations, the financial services industry finds itself at a critical juncture. Consumers have become used to e-commerce platforms that offer transparent, real-time visibility over the entire payment, execution and delivery life-cycle. Enter the Financial Data Access (FIDA) framework – an evolutionary regulatory proposal that promises to reshape the way financial services providers will expose, access and utilise customer financial data.

In den letzten Jahren wurde viel über Engagement-Kanäle im Private-Banking-Sektor diskutiert. Diese Community war schon immer stark auf persönlichen Service und Beziehungen ausgerichtet. Jahrelang wurde dies von Angesicht zu Angesicht mit E-Mails und direktem Zugang zu dem Kundenbetreuer geleistet. Die Pandemie und die digitalen Möglichkeiten, die durch den Generationswechsel beschleunigt wurden, änderten all das, und die Welt verlagerte sich ins Internet.

Tokenisation: Black is the new black
Tokenisation: Black is the new black

Some clothes designers say that brown is the new black. Being environmentally aware is so fashionable these days that one may say green is the new black. For young people, others say that, politics is the new black. For the securities industry, arguably, tokenisation indicates that black may be the new black. But, asks ERI’s Alan Goodrich, what form does this new black take for market participants, their organisation structures and underlying technology platforms?

Regulation & Compliance: The gift that just keeps on giving
Regulation & Compliance: The gift that just keeps on giving

For those operating in the financial services sector, the regulators continue to pile on the pressure with a wave of new challenges in the pipeline to add to those already implemented. Institutions, already struggling with less than optimal legacy technology platforms, must begin to feel like they have become recipients of the proverbial (uninvited) gift that just keeps on giving (but not in a good way). A new, modern, open, integrated core system could be the one item on the wish-list this festive season that would change the narrative and transform the challenges into opportunities.

T+1: Everything, everywhere, all at once
T+1: Everything, everywhere, all at once

We may not have to deal with inter-dimensional post-trade, just yet. However, a recent Citi Securities Services survey reported that close to 90 percent of respondents expect their local settlement cycles to shorten to T+0 or T+1 within the next five years. In the current T+2 world, once instructions are sent to custodians then, if there is a problem, it will become apparent the next day and may still be corrected and settled in time. In contrast, T+1 actually requires a T+0 approach, underpinned by technology to support continuous real-time processes, as the window for reconciling and settling trades is compressed to same-day. Here, ERI’s Alan Goodrich explores the path to implementing a technology solution that meets the future; everything, everywhere, all at once requirements.

Maximising The Benefits of “As-A-Service” Models
Maximising The Benefits of “As-A-Service” Models

These days we hear a lot about Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Software-as-a-Service, all the way through to Banking-as-a-Service. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every institution, is there?

The UK private wealth industry has seen its consolidation trend strengthen in 2022, and 2023 looks to be no different. Banks have been very careful in choosing priority areas for investment. In this respect, technology is now seen as a central element of a bank’s growth strategy, but also as a key differentiator in a highly competitive environment. Leveraging technology to optimise operational efficiency and manage costs is essential to building a robust and healthy bank for years to come.

Conversational Banking puts clients first – loyalty will follow

Conversations are at the centre of any client relationship. The need for easy, flexible and transparent ways to interact are driving the digital transformation and will fundamentally reshape the banking industry. While internet banking and omnichannel interactions have created a world of convenience, clients are indicating that something is missing: personal interaction.

The T+1 drama: No time to fail
The T+1 drama: No time to fail

According to recent statistics, despite measures like the EU’s CSDR regulations that were intended to improve settlement efficiency, the rate of failures has actually increased, not come down. The US, Canada and India all have firm plans for the introduction of T+1. The pressure is mounting on Europe to follow suit. As a result, the topic is being given an increasing amount of airtime and is the subject of intense discussion. Regulation, so far, does not appear to be solving the issue. So, asks ERI’s Alan Goodrich … what will?

All That Glitters Is Not Gold
All That Glitters Is Not Gold

Crypto-speak and fintech buzzwords – the financial services technology space is awash with either new vocabulary or new use cases for existing concepts. The reality is that much of the jargon used by vendors to hype up technology is simply intended to make it sound or look exciting and new, when often the truth is something else entirely.

Over the last decade, Financial inclusion can be characterised as a means to an end. By ensuring access for households and small and medium enterprises to safe, essential financial services, financial inclusion is a key facilitator of inclusive economic growth.

FiDA is in, which means legacy systems are out

Perhaps overshadowed by what appear to be bigger and more impactful changes within the industry, the Financial Data Access (FiDA) regulation doesn’t get many headlines – but it really should. Regulators are targeting mid to late 2026 for it to come into force, which does not leave market participants a lot of time to get their ducks in a row. At the PostTrade 360° Nordic 2024 conference, Alan Goodrich of ERI dove into what the regulation could mean for the industry in the session titled “FiDA and the future of financial services”.

In the ever-evolving landscape of financial services, a significant transformation is underway—the Financial Data Access (FIDA) Regulation. At its core, FIDA is a mandate—a crucial directive carved in digital ink. It urges banks, fintech startups, and financial institutions alike to adapt or risk falling behind. But what exactly does FIDA entail, and how will it reshape the financial industry and the broader business landscape?

ESG data could add a new role for CSDs as aggregator

So far, post trade infrastructures have played a humble role in the budding sustainability transition. This Wednesday panel at the PostTrade 360° Helsinki conference dug into whether central securities depositories could play a supportive role as data intermediaries, as reporting requirements stack up both for issuers and investors.

On T+1 settlement, “we are not starting from a blank sheet”

With 27 member nations in the EU, it stands clear that a shortening of the standard settlement cycle by a day can be nowhere near as smooth and quick as in the US, with its single CSD. A panel at the PostTrade 360° Amsterdam conference discussed what could be a path forward.
