BNY Mellon has confirmed a collaboration with Baton System through which it will utilise Baton鈥檚 Core-Collateral service in its collateral management platform.
According to the two companies, this will enable mutual clients to optimise and allocate cash and non-cash collateral more efficiently across their cleared and uncleared exposures, supporting consistent workflow and reporting across securities lending, triparty repo and derivatives margining.
This will enable the New-York based bank to draw on Baton鈥檚 extensive CCP network and apply the benefits of its own Enterprise Continuous Portfolio Optimisation (ECPO) service to improve collateral velocity and to help users reduce their financing costs.
BNY Mellon digital business leader Victor O鈥橪aughlen says: 鈥淲e are excited about the tremendous potential this joint service presents to our clients, empowering them to optimise, mobilise and connect all of their collateral needs across different products and venues. Working with Baton, we will be delivering a solution at the leading edge of innovation.鈥�
Jerome Kemp, president at Baton Systems added: 鈥淲e at Baton Systems are excited to be launching our collaboration with BNY Mellon. The union of Baton鈥檚 extensive CCP connectivity with the ground-breaking functionality of BNY Mellon鈥檚 ECPO service forms a powerful offering to cleared derivatives market participants.
鈥淭he rapid mobilisation of assets and the enhanced optimisation of margin collateralisation is a game changer for the market.鈥�
Baton indicates that it will continue to expand its global CCP network, which currently supports more than 93 per cent of cleared margin posted by US-registered futures commission merchants globally, with negotiations ongoing to add further CCPs in coming months subject to the execution of a definitive collaboration agreement
Using distributed ledger technology, Baton aims to drive greater efficiency across the post-trade process, creating interoperable and connected digital market infrastructures from trade matching through to settlement, utilising automated rules-based workflow and 鈥渙n-demand鈥� settlement.
