Deutsche Bank is set to launch an enhanced securities settlement service that proactively identifies in-flight security transactions at risk of settlement delay.
Due to launch early next year, the new service will enable Deutsche Bank's clients to avoid financial penalties under the upcoming implementation of the new Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR).
The regulation will require European central security depositories (CSDs) to automatically apply penalties to market participants who fail to complete transactions on the contractual settlement date, with the aim to harmonise aspects of the settlement cycle and settlement discipline.
Deutsche Bank’s enhanced service will be powered by Elastic Stack and Elastic’s machine learning and anomaly detection features.
Deutsche’s Bank’s director, data products, securities services Christopher Daniels, said: “Our aim is to deliver a real shift in how markets view exception processing and to bring pre-trade performance to our post-trade operations.”
“We can now detect transactions in real-time that previously would not be flagged as at risk, and divert our attention from the transactions that ostensibly appear to be at risk, but upon historical analysis have always matched in time to settle,” he explained.
Dan Broom, area vice president, Northern Europe, Middle East and Africa at Elastic, added: “Deutsche Bank’s partnership with Elastic showcases the innovation that is achieved when deep domain expertise is paired with the Elastic Stack. Our machine learning and anomaly detection technologies are helping to fuel Deutsche Bank’s innovation and delivering a real game-change in settlement processing.”
