IHS Markit’s Global Regulatory Reporting Solution for Multi-jurisdictional Trade Reporting selected by Banco Santander
By Struan Lloyd
IHS Markit's Global Regulatory Reporting Solution's platform has been selected by Banco Santander to report OTC derivatives trades to multiple jurisdictions.
IHS Markit enables financial institutions to report OTC and exchange-traded derivatives trades to regulators across the globe via multiple trade repositories, approved reporting mechanisms (ARMs), and approved publication arrangements (APAs). The system manages the end-to-end reporting and reconciliation workflow by automatically capturing, normalizing, calculating, enriching, transforming, and submitting the required information to trade repositories. It can also reconcile trade repository data with a firm's in-house and external data sources. IHS Markit's Integrated Reporting is a dedicated platform that manages all functional requirements for trade reporting, including cross-asset coverage, valuation and collateral reporting, reconciliation, and multi-jurisdiction support, including G20 jurisdictions such as ASIC, CFTC, CAD, MAS, HKMA, SEC and EMIR, as well as MiFID II and Securities Financing Transaction Regulation (SFTR).
"The IHS Markit team is delighted to be working with Banco Santander," said Pierre Khemdoudi, Senior Vice President, Equities and Regulatory Reporting, IHS Markit. "The Banco Santander team has demonstrated its commitment to operational efficiency throughout our engagement, coupled with a powerful command of financial market standards. We look forward to working in partnership to roll out IHS Markit's trade reporting solution."
