IMS Trade Process is enhancing its trade settlement process by introducing the functionality to incorporate the Unique Transaction Identifier (UTI) into all of its trade settlement messages, a move that significantly streamlines the tracking and management of trade instructions. The UTI, a globally recognized identifier, is essential in the financial markets for ensuring the efficient tracking of transactions across various systems and jurisdictions. By integrating the UTI, the solution aims to provide a more transparent, efficient, and reliable trade settlement process, facilitating easier monitoring and reconciliation of trades for both regulators and participants.
The Swift Securities View provides the complete lifecycle of securities transactions through real-time tracking and management. The IMS Trade process platform leverages this service by integrating with Swift Securities View via its APIs. This strategic move enables users of the IMS solution to monitor transactions and take faster corrective measures in real-time throughout each phase of the trade instruction cycle. With the transition to T+1 settlement, there is a higher risk of more number of trades not being able to settle due to limited time for amendments or corrections. The Swift Securities View provides opportunity for early intervention by making the status of each trade available at real-time. By identifying discrepancies in trade instructions early, customers can take necessary action and avoid settlement fails.
In the evolving landscape of financial markets, the drive towards a T+1 settlement cycle represents a significant leap forward in enhancing efficiency and reducing risk. IMS Trade Process is at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging two pivotal innovations: the integration of the Unique Transaction Identifier (UTI) for precise tracking of trade settlement messages and the strategic alliance with SWIFT’s Securities View platform through API integration. These integrations facilitate real-time tracking of transactions throughout the trade instruction cycle and ensure a streamlined and transparent process. Together, these features equip the solution to support financial institutions in achieving T+1 settlement, marking a significant stride towards faster, more reliable trade settlements.
