Settlement for a T+1 world
Invalid Standing Settlement Instructions (SSIs) account for one third of all settlement failures. As much as 40% of SSIs are still being processed manually by financial institutions in their settlement operations. Automating the extraction, validation, and reconciliation of SSIs is the key to achieving T+1 compliance, mitigating risk, and improving operational efficiency, liquidity and market resiliency.
SSI Automate, S&P Global’s SSI Automation platform, addresses these challenges with an enterprise-grade standing settlement instructions solution. The platform combines AI-driven SSI data extraction, a comprehensive SSI validation solution, and a centralized environment for SSI reconciliation and SSI lifecycle management, creating standardized referential data management driven by a single source of truth.
Improve instruction accuracy, strengthen post-trade processing, enhance the trade settlement workflow and settlement risk management, and enable full post trade automation for settlement in a T+1 settlement world.
