Cash & Positions Reconciliations

Reconcile from any source and detect breaks sooner.


Most firms run cash and position reconciliations across multiple custodians, each sending statements in different formats, on different schedules.

Xceptor normalises all of it - automatically - before matching begins.

The challenge

Why cash & position reconciliation breaks down at scale 

Multi-custodian fragmentation creates persistent false breaks

Firms running cash and position reconciliations across multiple custodians face a structural data problem. Each custodian sends statements in different formats, on different schedules, with different field semantics - before a single comparison has been run.

FX complexity, multi-currency positions, and disconnected internal systems compound the problem. Teams spend hours reformatting data before reconciliation can even begin, and even then, routine FX timing differences surface as breaks that require manual investigation

 

  • Line 1
    Complete cash and position control is only achievable when data normalisation, matching, and investigation all happen on a single platform.

  • Client details
    Inconsistent custodian formats Statements in CSV, XLS, PDF, SWIFT, and portal exports require different treatment, creating IT dependencies every time a template changes.

  • Ad-hoc reporting
    FX-driven false breaks Multi-currency positions and cross-border structures generate recurring false breaks that consume investigator time without revealing real discrepancies.

  • Ageing
    Siloed reconciliation systems When trade, position, and cash reconciliations run on separate platforms, tracing a break across control layers requires manual cross-referencing.

  • Q&A
    IT dependency for every change Adding new custodians, fund structures, or accounts requires development cycles, slowing operations teams and delaying onboarding by weeks.

How Xceptor solves it

Complete cash & positions control on a single platform

 Xceptor automates cash and position reconciliations by normalising data from any custodian or bank, in any format, before reconciliations run. Operations teams own configuration and change - no IT ticket required. 

Ingest any format

Custodian and bank statements in CSV, XLS, PDF, SWIFT, portal export, or email are normalised upstream automatically before matching begins. No structured feed required - no IT project when templates change. 

Flexible matching at every level

Grouped comparison at security, account, and fund level with configurable market value and FX tolerances. Hard breaks surface genuine quantity mismatches immediately, separated from tolerance-based differences.

Operations teams configure matching rules, tolerances, FX handling, and grouping logic without IT dependency. New custodians and fund structures are onboarded in days, not weeks  

Early break detection

Breaks are flagged immediately once files are received and the reconciliation run completes - routed to the right owner to enable resolution before the settlement deadline rather than after it.

Coordinated investigation across control layers
