OTAP Securities Trading Implementation

Temenos Transact Securities Trading Implementation OTAP sarl specializes in implementing Straight-Through Processing (STP) for securities trading using Temenos Transact with integrated SWIFT messaging capabilities.

Straight-Through Processing for Securities Trading

In today's competitive financial landscape, efficient securities trading operations are critical for investment banks, brokerage firms, and wealth management institutions. OTAP leverages Temenos Transact's robust capabilities to implement true Straight-Through Processing (STP) for securities trading operations, eliminating manual interventions and reducing operational risks.

End-to-End Automation

Our implementation enables automated processing of trade orders from initiation through execution, confirmation, settlement, and accounting, reducing manual touchpoints and minimizing errors.

Regulatory Compliance

Built-in compliance checks and validation rules ensure adherence to regulatory requirements like MiFID II, EMIR, and local securities regulations across various markets.

Multi-Asset Support

Comprehensive support for equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment products through a single platform with consistent processing rules.

Real-Time Processing

Trades are processed in real-time with immediate updates to positions, risk exposure, and client accounts, enabling better decision-making and client service.

Securities Trading STP Flow

Our implementation creates a seamless flow from order capture to settlement with integrated SWIFT messaging at critical touchpoints:

Order Capture - Order initiated via channels or received through order message (MT502)

Order Execution - Execution with status notifications (MT509)

Trade Confirmation - Confirmation processing and client notification (MT513)

Settlement - Automated settlement initiation and confirmation (MT515)

SWIFT Message Integration

OTAP's implementation specializes in integrating critical SWIFT message types for securities trading, enabling standardized communication with counterparties, custodians, and market infrastructures. Our solution configures Temenos Transact to process these messages automatically, extracting relevant data to update trading systems while generating appropriate responses.

MT502

Order to Buy/Sell

We implement full automation for receiving and processing MT502 messages for order initiation from external parties, with validation rules to ensure order details are captured correctly and mapped to Temenos Transact trading workflows.

MT509

Trade Status

Our implementation enables automatic generation and processing of MT509 messages to communicate trade status updates. These statuses are synchronized with the internal workflow states in Temenos, ensuring consistency between internal and external status reporting.

MT513

Client Confirmation

We configure the system to generate and process MT513 messages for trade confirmations, with automated reconciliation against trade details and exception handling for discrepancies, ensuring accurate client communication.

MT515

Client Settlement Confirmation

Our implementation handles the automated processing of MT515 messages for settlement confirmations, with direct updates to the Temenos core banking system for position and cash management, completing the STP cycle.
