Automate trade reconciliations with Xceptor, reducing errors, enhancing efficiency, and empowering business teams while saving significant time and costs.
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
-
Complete cash and position control is only achievable when data normalisation, matching, and investigation all happen on a single platform.
-
Inconsistent custodian formats Statements in CSV, XLS, PDF, SWIFT, and portal exports require different treatment, creating IT dependencies every time a template changes.
-
FX-driven false breaks Multi-currency positions and cross-border structures generate recurring false breaks that consume investigator time without revealing real discrepancies.
-
Siloed reconciliation systems When trade, position, and cash reconciliations run on separate platforms, tracing a break across control layers requires manual cross-referencing.
-
IT dependency for every change Adding new custodians, fund structures, or accounts requires development cycles, slowing operations teams and delaying onboarding by weeks.
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
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
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.
No-code configuration
No-code configuration
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
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
Coordinated investigation across control layers
Investigate cash, position, and trade breaks together on a single platform - without reconciling outputs from separate systems. Teams trace breaks across control layers in one place.
Full audit trail & regulatory evidence
Full audit trail & regulatory evidence
Every comparison, exception, investigation, and resolution is timestamped and exportable, supporting CASS reconciliation requirements and operational resilience obligations with evidenced control documentation.

Xceptor normalises any source format automatically, applies consistent matching logic across all custodians, and surfaces genuine breaks - eliminating manual data preparation.
Configurable FX tolerance rules account for multi-currency positions and cross-border structures using base-currency logic, removing the recurring false breaks caused by FX timing differences - without masking discrepancies that require Investigation.
Yes. Xceptor ingests statements in any format from any custodian - CSV, XLS, PDF, SWIFT, portal export, or email - and normalises them before matching begins. No IT project is required when custodian templates change.
Yes. Every comparison, exception, investigation, and resolution is timestamped and exportable, supporting CASS reconciliation requirements and operational resilience obligations with full evidenced control documentation.
Operations teams configure new custodians without IT involvement. New custodians and fund structures are typically onboarded in days, not weeks. Format changes don't disrupt existing reconciliation processes.
Yes. Trade validation, cash reconciliation, and position reconciliation all operate within Xceptor Reconciliations on a single platform. Teams can trace breaks across all control layers in one place, without manually cross-referencing multiple systems.
