Streamlining Internal Messaging: How a Major Investment Bank Improved Integration

  • May 3, 2025

Learn how a top investment bank reduced integration costs and accelerated project delivery by adopting open messaging standards.

A major investment bank faced significant challenges from a fragmented internal messaging environment. Multiple proprietary interfaces and systems created bottlenecks that slowed project delivery, increased integration costs, and complicated regulatory reporting. The bank needed a solution that would allow its teams to share trading and post-trade information seamlessly across departments and with counterparties.

TradeHeader partnered with the bank to implement open messaging standards—FpML, FIX, and ISO 20022—across its internal messaging bus. The project included mapping data between front-office and back-office systems, developing extensions and validation tools, creating messaging samples, and documenting processes for smooth adoption. The result was a streamlined messaging infrastructure with reusable components, faster project delivery, reduced integration costs, and enhanced transparency and compliance for regulatory reporting under CFTC and EMIR.
