Trade Automation

Client: Confidential

Designed and implemented a system for automating trade confirmations and financial messaging, integrating with SWIFT and DTCC to support end-to-end trade lifecycle processing for institutional assets.

Problem

Trade confirmations and financial messaging relied on a mix of legacy systems and manual processes, making it difficult to maintain speed, accuracy, and auditability. Handling SWIFT messages, DTCC confirmations, and internal workflows separately created inefficiencies, delays, and increased operational risk—especially at scale.

Solution

Built a unified integration layer to handle SWIFT messaging (ISO15022/MT) and DTCC CTM trade confirmations through event-driven REST APIs. Implemented secure authentication and automated message transformations to ensure seamless communication with external financial institutions. Replaced manual steps with automated workflows, improving processing speed, increasing throughput, and creating a more reliable and auditable trade lifecycle system.
