One connected platform for pre-trade validation, post-trade automation, and regulatory compliance

Equilend connects reconciliation, trade lifecycle automation, settlement, collateral management, and regulatory compliance into a single environment, so front office, operations, and compliance teams can resolve fails, meet reporting deadlines, and manage exposure without stitching together separate systems.

Manual pre and post-trade processes are slowing settlement and raising regulatory risk

Rising post-trade complexity

Trade volumes keep rising while settlement windows shrink, and every manual touchpoint between execution and settlement adds cost, risk, and regulatory exposure.

Connected post-trade operations

T+1 compresses the timeline for fixing what goes wrong. Firms already have up to 83% less time to resolve failed trades, and the EU, UK, and Switzerland move to T+1 in October 2027. Most operations and compliance teams are managing these pressures across disconnected systems: separate tools for reconciliation, returns/recalls, SSIs, and regulatory reporting. Post-Trade & Regulatory brings those workflows into one connected environment, built on the trade data firms already have.

Why operations and compliance teams choose Equilend Post-Trade & Regulatory

One connected post-trade environment

Automate critical trade lifecycle processes

Automated tri-party collateral management

Exposure Management connects directly to the major tri-party collateral managers for RQV pre-matching, submission, and intra-day collateral visibility. Firms reduce pre-matching emails and accelerate collateral coverage ahead of loan release.

Standing settlement instructions you can trust

In partnership with SSImple, our SSI Repository solution validates settlement instructions against ISO standard rules and distributes them straight into your post-trade workflow. That closes the gap behind roughly 30% of settlement fails traced back to incorrect or missing SSIs.

Regulatory reporting built on your trade data

SFTR and 10c-1a reporting run on the same infrastructure as your trading and post-trade data. Equilend is a registered broker-dealer with the regulatory status to act as a reporting agent for 10c-1a.

Faster beneficial owner onboarding

Onboard+ combines a KYC vault, workflow engine, and advanced dashboard to move beneficial owners through onboarding faster than the industry average of roughly 90 days. Agent lenders and broker-dealers connect through the ALD file protocol they already use.

Optimised agency lender disclosure processes

Agency Lender Disclosure (ALD) is a critical daily process for initial credit approvals and daily exchange of loan and collateral data across counterparties. Equilend is helping to drive this legacy industry process forward with advancements such as support for repo activity as well as including fields such as Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) and pledge collateral eligibility within the ALD protocol.

How operations and compliance teams use Post-Trade & Regulatory

Clearing fails before they become CSDR penalties

Settlement Monitor compares mandatory settlement fields at the point of trade and throughout the lifecycle, helping firms meet CSDR settlement requirements by identifying mismatches before they become penalties. Operations teams resolve breaks on screen instead of chasing counterparties by email.

Managing recalls and returns on a T+1 timeline

Recalls, Returns, and Settlement Monitor link recall notifications directly to return bookings, with real-time MQ messaging and DTCC ARMS connectivity. This real-time processing supports the recall and return automation the EU T+1 Industry Committee has flagged as a high priority for 2026.

Meeting SFTR and 10c-1a deadlines from one data feed

SFTR and 10c-1a reporting all draw on the same trade and lifecycle data captured through Equilend's platforms. Compliance teams manage UTI generation, data enrichment, and submission from a single dashboard.

Reconciling collateral across multiple tri-party collateral agents

Exposure Management pre-matches RQV figures with tri-party agents and reconciles market value discrepancies down to the account level. Collateral teams get intra-day visibility instead of waiting on end-of-day files.

Part of one connected Equilend ecosystem

Post-Trade & Regulatory runs on the same OneFile data feed that connects to NGT for trade capture, and Spire for books and records. Data entered once flows through every downstream workflow.
