SmartStream launches Eligibility API
Transaction lifecycle management solutions provider, SmartStream Technologies, has launched a new offering. SmartStream’s Eligibility API intends to provide collateral management optimization, which would be a more efficient way to source eligibility information contained within collateral agreements.
The new solution has been designed to work for both pre- and post-trade collateral optimization.
SmartStream’s latest offering launches in the wake of the impending Uncleared Margin Rules (UMR) Phase 6 regulatory regime, which is due to be implemented in September 2022 and could create a squeeze on assets being pledged as collateral.
SmartStream’s new solution intends to provide firms with an alternative way of publishing eligible collateral for each legal agreement, which could then be consumed by their optimization engines.
