Javelin SEF Goes Live with Traiana's CreditLink for Interest Rate Swaps
NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Javelin SEF announced today that it is now live with Traiana's CreditLink service for real time pre-trade credit checks on interest rate swap trades.
Current CFTC rules require clearing firms who clear interest rate swaps to check their customer orders on newly created Swap Execution Facilities, or "SEFs", for available credit before a trade can be executed.
"In advance of Javelin's MAT next month, we are pleased to offer Traiana's CreditLink solution to Javelin customers," said James Cawley, Javelin CEO.
CreditLink offers Javelin customers a single point of connectivity between the Javelin trading platform and multiple clearing firms. Customers can now onboard to Javelin more efficiently and seamlessly.
CreditLink acts as a centralized hub between trading platforms and clearing firms. CreditLink currently connects to 16 clearing firms.
John Burchenal, Global Head of Alliances & Partners at Traiana said: "We are delighted that Javelin is joining the Traiana CreditLink network to verify pre-trade credit checks for its customers. Traiana is committed to helping market participants trading on SEFs to be compliant with the latest regulations."
