Advancing settlement risk mitigation

Leveraging our unique position at the center of the FX industry and our market infrastructure experience, we are working to address settlement risk for a broader range of currencies and market participants.

Our priority is to deliver functional enhancements to CLSNet that will deliver immediate benefits to our clients in terms of mitigating risk, optimizing liquidity and creating operational efficiencies for currency flows outside of CLSSettlement.
