Corona Securities
Automating the securities reconciliation process with Corona increases matching rates and supports higher STP rates. Corona’s automated, real-time reconciliation of transactions allows a greater volume of transactions to be processed more efficiently, while at the same time enabling exceptions to be identified and dealt with as they occur. This is critical during periods of market volatility and high trade volumes, when human error is more likely to occur. Corona Securities supports firms to effectively manage risk exposures through the rapid identification of position breaks and failed trades, while providing real-time access to information on all securities transactions and positions. Corona monitors the reconciliation and pre-settlement status of securities traded against pending transactions, problem notifications and confirmations of delivery / receipt. This enables institutions to focus on exceptions at the earliest opportunity, with the aim of reducing operational risk.

Corona Inter-system
Corona’s inter-system reconciliation module allows transactions to be matched at each crucial stage in the transaction.
