Learn how SimCorp's solutions helped the bank improve their STP rate and reduce operational risks

The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago is the key monetary authority, managing the investment operations, of Trinidad and Tobago’s foreign exchange reserves.

Wendy D’Arbasie, Manager, Reserves and Domestic Market Management for the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago shares how SimCorp was able to efficiently implement both its full front to back integrated solution as well as a separate cash management system which provided the straight through processing the bank needed and resulted in overall reduced operational risk.

“When we implemented SimCorp in 2017, one
of our key objectives would have been to
reduce our operational risk in the management
of the reserve portfolio. That implementation
has gone well and we have certainly seen the
benefit of reduced operational risk since we
have that straight through processing from the
front office, to middle office where we have the
performance and compliance management, to
back office settlement and accounting, so it
has achieved its overall objective.”
