Securities finance trading has become increasingly more complex. Firms must balance execution quality, liquidity access, operational efficiency, regulatory requirements, and rising client expectations, all while managing increasing trade volumes across global markets. Legacy processes and fragmented workflows can slow execution, increase operational risk, and limit opportunities.
Modern securities finance trading requires connected, automated workflows that help firms execute trades efficiently, adapt to changing market conditions, and scale without adding unnecessary operational overhead. By improving market connectivity, reducing manual intervention, and streamlining the trading lifecycle, firms can enhance performance, improve resilience, and focus on delivering better outcomes for their clients.
Equilend's trading solutions bring together the tools firms need to simplify execution, expand market access, and improve operational efficiency across the securities finance trading lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between NGT and ECS Loan Market?
NGT is our bilateral electronic trading platform: counterparties trade directly with each other, and credit and legal agreements sit between the two firms. ECS Loan Market routes the same kind of activity through the OCC as central counterparty, so credit exposure goes to the OCC rather than the trading counterparty. Firms with credit-line constraints or capital pressure typically use ECS alongside NGT rather than choosing one over the other. Learn more about NGT or ECS Loan Market.
Which trading solution is right for my firm type?
Agent lenders, principal lenders, and broker-dealers run their bilateral flow through NGT. Broker-dealers and prime brokers add ECS Loan Market when central clearing reduces capital or credit-line costs. Tell us your firm type and we'll point you to the right solution.
How long does it take to go live on Equilend's trading platform?
Implementation timelines depend on integration scope, connectivity requirements, and the systems already in place. After assessing your environment, our team can provide a detailed implementation plan and timeline tailored to your organisation.
