CRESTBridge

Simply, Quick, Effective CREST integration

CRESTBridge is a resilient, richly functional interface to Euroclear UK & Ireland's CREST service, highly regarded for its reliability and ease of integration with back office systems. Ever since Euroclear UK & Ireland's CREST was inaugurated, Trace Financial has been helping brokers, asset managers, custodians, clearers and settlement banks to integrate successfully with the service. Supporting all CREST transaction types, CRESTBridge meets the needs of registrars and transfer agents as well as regular stock-holding members. The success story continues today. Since Euroclear UK & Ireland launched CREST Funds Settlement, both 'provider' and 'distributor' side companies have selected CRESTBridge to meet their integration needs.

Simplified

Settlement instructions become the only required input. CRESTBridge automates the remaining communication requirements for the CREST system through scheduling and automated workflows.

Complete

CRESTBridge supports the complete scope of CREST system functionality. Access all CREST system functions that Euroclear make available in the machine-to-machine interface.

Scale

CRESTBridge scales with your growth in volume and function. From multiple interfaces to multiple cores CRESTBridge easily expands volume capacity. Flexible licencing allows functional modules to be available as required.

Configurable

Tailor the CREST system interface to your system requirements. Control the scope and timing
of data returned to your system. Insulate your system from unnecessary change. Follow your own timetable for system change.

Standardisation

Use ISO 20022 or ISO 15022 messaging. CRESTBridge interfaces with your system using your choice of messaging. The incorporation of Trace Financial’s Transformer into the CRESTBridge interface allows modelling of any messaging protocol. Standard ISO 20022 and ISO 15022 are incorporated in the CRESTBridge interface.
