How a Japanese bank modernized global securities workflows

The world’s fifth largest financial institution streamlined security operations, eliminated spreadsheet risk, and accelerated time to market using the Genesis Application Platform – delivered with speed, scalability, and governance.

The challenge

Genesis Global partnered with a Japanese financial institution — one of the world’s top banking groups with over $3.1 trillion in assets — to support a multi-year transformation across their global securities business.

The institution needed to digitize and modernize key processes for their Fixed Income electronic trading operations, which involved a wide range of products and highly regulated workflows.

Their internal teams were heavily reliant on Excel-based workflows and EUC tools, which presented serious challenges.

They sought a platform that could deliver speed, scale, and control – without adding pressure on internal IT teams or disrupting existing infrastructure.

How did Genesis help

To address these challenges, Genesis delivered a tailored solution using the Genesis Application Platform – enabling rapid development of applications like a Client Portal, FX Trading Execution Platform, and a suite of custom apps across business units.

By using Genesis’s components, the bank’s internal teams accelerated delivery timelines while maintaining governance and control.

The result was a consolidated, scalable application ecosystem that modernized the firm’s global securities workflows – without the need for heavy custom builds or long deployment cycles.
