Darren Holdstock, Global Head of Complementors at Swift, said: “We are pleased to extend the benefit of our Transaction Screening Service and Securities View solutions to more institutions through connectivity with Broadridge. Transaction Screening Service means institutions can securely screen incoming and outgoing messages against the most up-to-date sanctions lists; while Swift Securities View provides end-to-end visibility of securities transactions and enables market participants to quickly identify trades at risk of failing and allowing them to take pre-emptive action.”
“We take our regulatory compliance obligations very seriously, and we are committed, with the support of Broadridge, to further strengthen our control over sanction compliance by implementing a real-time and fully integrated screening in our payment processes,” said Julien Muet, Head of Corporate Treasury, TÜV Rheinland. “As such, we turned to Broadridge in their capacity as our trusted sole outsourcing partner for all of our Swift services, and have been impressed by their professionalism, service standards and depth of knowledge relating to sanctions screening.”
Sanctions screening regulations can be complex, challenging to follow, and subject to a high frequency of changes. Many firms are further exposed by inefficient, time-consuming processes when maintaining constantly evolving lists of sanctioned organizations and individuals. By connecting its customers to Swift’s Transaction Screening Service, Broadridge is enabling direct access to a best-in-class, centrally managed service that enables maximum accuracy and efficiency for transaction screening and sanctions list management.
“As an accredited Swift Partner and Technology API enabler, we have a long-standing track-record of empowering leading financial firms and corporate treasury organizations globally, through outsourced access to Swift’s services,” said Heidi Dittmar, head of Broadridge’s Swift services business. “As Swift continues to invest and advance its services, as demonstrated for Transaction Screening Service and Securities View, it is important that we continue to have a timely response so that our clients can depend on us and derive maximum business value.”
