SmartStream-systeem voor corporate actions krijgt certificaat van SWIFT
LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SmartStream, specialist in Transaction Lifecycle Management (TLM®), heeft vandaag bekendgemaakt dat zijn systeem TLM Corporate Actions opnieuw is bekroond met de status van SWIFT Certified Application. Het SWIFT-programma is gebonden aan een strikte procedure, waarbij de applicatie wordt gekeurd op SWIFTs criteria voor berichtgeving over zogeheten corporate actions.
Een grondige technische keuring en naleving van standaarden uit de sector zijn cruciaal voor opname in het SWIFT-netwerk. Hoewel SWIFT-berichtgeving de standaard is voor bekendmakingen over corporate actrion, worstelen veel bedrijven met de complexiteit van de berichtgeving en geldende protocollen. SmartStreams TLM Corporate Actions verlost bedrijven van dit dure proces en biedt kant-en-klare SWIFT-ondersteuning voor berichtgeving. Verwerking van corporate actions is een zeer complex gebied en aangezien het te verwerken volume blijft groeien, vormt een handmatige aanpak een risico voor financiële instituties. Geautomatiseerde verwerking van corporate actions, mét uitzonderingsfuncties, zorgt voor betere beheersing van risico’s en damt administratiekosten in.
SmartStream’s Continued Developments in Corporate Actions Processing is Certified by SWIFT
LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SmartStream, the financial Transaction Lifecycle Management (TLM®) specialist, today announced that its TLM Corporate Actions solution has again been awarded SWIFT Certified Application status. The SWIFT programme follows a strict process – certifying the application is fully compliant with SWIFT corporate actions messaging standards.
This rigorous technical validation and the interpretation of industry standards is key when complying with the SWIFT network. Even though SWIFT messages are established as the message standard for corporate action announcements and processing, many companies struggle with the complexity of the messages and the protocol across the lifecycle of the event.

Automating corporate actions processing with exception controls provides enhanced risk management, whilst at the same time controlling back-office costs.
Alan Jones, Senior Product Management, SmartStream, states: “The SWIFT certification further reconfirms our commitment to the industry and to making sure we remain thorough when it comes to corporate actions processing. We have worked hard to build a complete end-to-end solution enabling our customers to fully participate in active communications with account holders and their account service providers. Today, our SaaS Corporate Actions utility is available to both sell-side and, perhaps most importantly, buy-side firms who need this low-cost yet highly advanced service.”
