Comprehensive clearing and settlement software with multi-currency clearing.

Market InfrastructureClearing housesExchanges

Overview

OCC (Optimum Clearing Core) is comprehensive clearing and settlement software. It re-engineers cash flow across the capital market: obligations are netted, settlement instructions are prepared for the settlement bank and the depository, fails are handled and participants receive their reporting electronically, without paper.

A dynamic, operation-based rules engine and computational dynamic modules give it speed and flexibility, so clearing logic can change without rebuilding the system. It connects directly to banking systems and includes a standard conversion engine with IBM AS/400 connectivity.

The problem it addresses

Clearing and settlement decide whether money and securities actually change hands as agreed. Shorter settlement cycles and more currencies leave less room for manual work and late surprises.
