EquiLend and BondLend have launched Trade Match, which provides an automated way to compare pre-settlement, cross-product securities finance transactions.
Trade Match reconciles all the trade components of either the start or close leg of each trade type.
The software鈥檚 exception management reporting prioritises the core pending settlement risk items for the users, helping them to reduce fails and rectify trade economic discrepancies on a real-time basis.
According to the service providers, Trade Match recognises nuances between equity and fixed income clients.

Trade Match is also compatible with One File connectivity, EquiLend鈥檚 new workflow for streamlined build-out to EquiLend鈥檚 post-trade services.
Brian Lamb, CEO of EquiLend, said: 鈥淲e have heard clients鈥� concerns around the changing regulatory environment and reduction of settlement cycles.鈥�
