Market Access Margin Lending Interface

Overview

GBST Margin Lending Interface™ provides a real time interface between brokers and margin lenders systems. The interface allows for advisors and investors to view position and holding information and to validate and process order and contract note information.

Order validation

The GBST Margin Lending Interface™ optionally allows brokers or investors to validate orders prior to execution. Order information can be used by the lender's system (for example GBST Margin Lending™) to reserve funds or units.

Contract note validation and processing

Straight through processing of contract note information from the brokers back office system (for example Shares™) is validated by the margin lender prior to releasing the CHESS DVP settlement messages. Contact information no longer needs to be manually faxed and entered into the lender's system prior to settlement.

Holding and Position Enquiry

The enquiry functionality provided in the Margin Lending Interface™ allows advisors and investors to view up-to-date holdings and facility positions. The Margin Lending Interface™ facilitates the automatic update of portfolio holdings in the broker's back office system. The what-if enquiry allows brokers or investors to submit multiple transactions for calculation against current margin lending LVR and other risk management parameters in the lender's back office system, displaying the resulting calculation back to the advisor and/or investor on your web site.
