TAM revamp achieves T+1 compliance for leading Canadian bank

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.

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.
