Case Study
TAM revamp achieves T+1 compliance for leading Canadian bank
The investment wing of a leading Canadian bank gets middle-office overhaul, with efficiency boost and multi-asset class automation
Client Challenge
Our client is the investment banking branch of a leading Canadian Bank.
The company needed help meeting upcoming regulations that cut the US settlement cycle to one day after trade date (T+1).
The bank’s trade allocation processes comprised disparate platforms and manual workflows, leading to an inefficient and error-prone system—which needed a full overhaul ahead of the deadline.
Highlights
Tight relationship
Genesis offered its unique blend of industry expertise, team talent, and existing connections to develop a deep relationship with our client. A union built on trust, shared domain knowledge, and a common language
Proof-of-concept phase
A planned ‘Sprint Zero’ phase helped define key design decisions, outline requirements, and validate the project’s concept. Its successful execution served to shape and eventually kickstart the main project
Smooth integration
To preserve the value of existing investments and guarantee business continuity, Genesis made sure TAM interfaced seamlessly with the bank’s existing providers and internal systems
The Solution
During delivery, Genesis and the bank worked incredibly closely to make the process a success.
Our deeply cooperative and agile approach included regular updates, swift decision-making, and a shared working environment.
Our work with them is testament to our ability to build deep relationships with top-tier institutions and provide tailored solutions.
