Head of Confirmations, Leading global bank
Using Xceptor we’ve been able to streamline our trade confirmations process, taking cost out of the business and establishing better control over our derivatives operations. The original project was completed in just a few short months creating a real value-add, and we have subsequently rolled our Xceptor to our South African operation.
