Pirum’s annual Product Buzz series highlights our product owners’ views on the tech and trends that will define securities finance each new year. Today, we hear from Jamie Roberts-Grimsey, Product Manager, RepoConnect.
In the complex world of securities finance operations, every minute regained, every process optimized, and every cost saved can make a significant difference. That’s why, in 2025, RepoConnect’s real-time Pair-Off Service offers a key upgrade for Fixed Income operations.
The Pair-Offs solution shifts a repo desk from manual to cutting-edge, while saving clients time, reducing risks, costs, and penalties, as well as freeing up resources to focus on growth.
To give a few examples of how:
- Say farewell to manual netting headaches: RepoConnect automates your repo pair-offs by streamlining the process and avoiding endless emails back and forth. By applying a standardized logic that everyone can agree to, and then consolidating that logic into one system, RepoConnect enables counterparties to review and agree trade specifics in one place. The solution also automatically identifies any pair-off opportunities based on your underlying matching data and will give you the means to agree these automatically.
- Reduce your operational risk: Minimize errors, maximize confidence. RepoConnect's netting engine ensures precise open/close netting; by validating all underlying trade data, the system mitigates the risk of discrepancies and operational mistakes that lead to fails. With RepoConnect, your operations are conducted with accuracy and reliability, safeguarding your firm's reputation and bottom line. The best way to avoid fails, as they say, is not to have to deliver a security in the first place.
- Optimize your resources: By automating routine tasks, RepoConnect enables your desk to redirect efforts towards strategic and growth-driving endeavors. By optimizing resource allocation, RepoConnect empowers your organization to operate smarter and more competitively in the market.
