Führen Sie Fähigkeiten ein für den T+1-Abrechnungsstandards für Wertpapierabwicklungen in den USA, Kanada und Mexiko
Stehen Sie vor Herausforderungen, um den neuen T+1-Abrechnungsstandards für Wertpapierabwicklungen in den USA, Kanada und Mexiko zu entsprechen, die möglicherweise später auch an anderen Standorten weltweit eingeführt werden? Die Halbierung des aktuellen Abrechnungszyklus wird zusätzliche Risiken bei der Ausführung Ihrer Handelsgeschäfte sowie bei derVerwaltung von Bargeld und Liquidität mit sich bringen, ganz zu schweigen von den Risiken bei der Erfüllung der Bedürfnisse relevanter Interessengruppen.
Institutionen,die nicht angemessen auf die bevorstehenden Änderungen vorbereitet sind, könnten ihre Abwicklungsfehler dramatisch erhöhen, was zu erheblichen Wettbewerbsnachteilen und in extremen Fällen sogar zu regulatorischen Eingriffen führen könnte.
Incentage bietet eine Lösung, um Ihre Kernbankensysteme und Ihre Software zu ergänzen und sicherzustellen, dass Ihre Institution den erforderlichen Anforderungen im Settlement entspricht - und das ohne Kodierung, sondern nur durch Konfiguration. Dieser integrierte Ansatz bietet Ihrer IT-Architektur eine schnelle und zuverlässige Lösung, die Sie optimal auf alle ändernden Anforderungen vorbereitet. Die Incentage-Software bietet außerdem ein modernes Cockpit zur Echtzeitüberwachungund -verwaltung von Risiken. Darüber hinaus ist die Software bereits darauf ausgerichtet, Ihnen auch bei anderen operativen Herausforderungen am Horizont zu helfen, wie zum Beispiel Instant Payment, der Umstellung auf ISO20022 und bei der Vermögensverwaltung.
Bei Incentage haben wir eine low-code Software erstellt, welche die Erfahrung in allen operativen und technischen Prozessen enthält. Als Referenzprojekt konnten wir die heimische Marktinfrastruktur in Kanada erfolgreich auf die bevorstehenden Änderungen vorbereiten. Genauso wie wir es für den kanadischen Markt getan haben, sind wir bestrebt, unsere Software und Kompetenz auch mit Ihrer Institution zu teilen, damit Sie davon profitieren und sich in eine wettbewerbsfähige und vorteilhafte Situation bringen können.
Kontaktieren Sie uns - jetzt ist der Moment -, um mehr über Incentage zu erfahren. Wir freuen uns sehr, uns für eine erste Interaktion zu treffen und uns um Ihre Anliegen zu kümmern.

Die Ergebnisse sind Prozesse, die sicherstellen, dass die Wertpapiere rechtzeitig dort sind, wo sie sein müssen. Das Cockpit ermöglicht eine umfassende Überwachung der Handelslebenszyklen und führt somit zu weniger Abwicklungsfehlern sowie, was besonders wichtig ist, zu einer Verringerung der operativen, finanziellen und reputationsbezogenen Risiken.
Unsere Teams freuen sich darauf, eine erste Diskussion zu führen, um herauszufinden, wie wir die Möglichkeiten Ihrer bestehenden IT-Architektur und -Infrastruktur erweitern können. Unsere Software bietet relevante Funktionen und ermöglicht es unseren Kunden flexibel, mehr Effizienz und Sicherheit in den wichtigsten Bereichen der Wertpapierdienstleistungen zu erreichen.

Wechsel zu T+1 in Europa – Nichtstun istkeine Option
Wenn der US- und der kanadische Markt im Mai 2024 von einem Settlement-Zyklus von T+2 auf T+1 umstellen, geschieht dies aus verschiedenen Gründen:
- Schnellere Verfügbarkeit von Liquidität
- Kostenersparnis (Kapital ist weniger lang gebunden)
- Risikominderung (Verkürzung ist positiv für mögliche Marktveränderungen im Settlement-Zyklus)
- Stabilität (Reduzierung der Gegenpartei-Risiken)
- Modernisierung der Infrastruktur (Verkürzung zwingt Marktteilnehmer zu verbesserten Prozessen und Technologien)
Und was macht Europa? In Europa, wo die Infrastrukturen sehr fragmentiert sind, gestaltet sich ein Wechsel zu einem T+1 Settlement-Zyklus als komplizierter. Der Anteil an grenzüberschreitenden Transaktionen europäischer Banken ist hoch.
Zwischen den relevanten Infrastrukturen existieren gut eingespielte Prozesse, die im Grundsatz mit T+2 gut funktionieren. Die Herausforderungen für einen Wechsel zu T+1 wären signifikant, insbesondere im internationalen Umfeld, wo die Fristen für die Bereinigung von Unstimmigkeiten bereits sehr kurz sind, wenn man nur schon die Zeitdifferenz zwischen den USA und Asien oder zwischen Europa und Asien betrachtet.
Eine weitere Schwierigkeit ist der FOREX-Markt, der noch immer auf T+2 funktioniert, was bedeutet, dass Käufer ihre Liquidität früher bereithalten müssen. Eine Einführung von T+1 hat in Europa auch erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die Handhabung von Corporate Events. Eine Verkürzung der Settlement-Fristenwürde die Risiken erheblich erhöhen.
Sind das Gründe genug, warum Europa nicht auf T+1 umsteigt? Meiner Meinung nach wird der Wechsel zu T+1 kommen, allerdings wahrscheinlich nicht in den nächsten 24 Wochen. Dennoch wird der Druck seitens des Marktes, der Investoren und der Regulierungsbehörden eine Verkürzung vorantreiben.
Was ist zu tun?
Sich mit dem Gedanken an T+1 anzufreunden ist notwendig. Wie immer bei solchen Fragen stellt sich für jedes einzelne involvierte Institut die Frage, was sich ändern würde. Eine Bestandsaufnahme der sich verändernden Prozesse ist der erste Schritt. Der Abgleich, ob die Prozesse in der aktuellen IT-Infrastruktur standhalten würden, ist der nächste.
Die gute Nachricht: Die Incentage AG bietet mit ihrer modernen Low-Code-IT-Lösung Incentage IAP (Innovation AccelerationPlatform) bereits heute wertvolle Dienste in Nordamerika bei der Umstellung aufT+1 an. Mithilfe von Incentage IAP können ganze Prozessketten oder auch nur einzelne Prozessschritte problemlos auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten und für eine Abwicklung mit T+1 vorbereitet werden. Dies ist möglich, ohne die bereits gut verankerte Infrastruktur vollständig zu ersetzen– es sei denn, dies ist gewünscht.
Und was ist, wenn plötzlich der Wunsch nach einem Atomic Settlement aufkommt? Dann ist eines sicher: Mit der Incentage-Software ist auch ein Wechsel von T+2 oder T+1 auf ein Atomic Settlement möglich und schnell umsetzbar. Bereits heute wird Incentage IAP für Atomic Settlement eingesetzt.
Einfach und schnell – Swiss-made Software macht es möglich.

End of the year there is the traditional Swiss Payment Forum in Zürich. Two days full packed with experts sharing their know-how.
This year also Incentage will participate as speaker.
Our colleague Oscar Neira will explain to the audience why Banks should offer Crypto Trading and Custody.
"Can Cryptos already sit at the same table as the Grown Ups?" This is the question which Oscar wants to enlight. Means, is the Crypto Market grown up to be integrated in a high regulated Bank environment or not.
If yes, is it possible to make a Bitcoin or any other tokenized asset transaction from the Bank's Crypto Wallet "A" to another Bank's Crypto Wallet "B"? Sounds easy but can that be made over SWIFT and using the standard formats in ISO 20022? Let's see....
But why a Bank should offer Crypto Trading and Custody?
Oscar means for obvious reason. The clients demand it.
And if this is not enough, there is a clear trend coming from the Central Banks, worldwide. The Central Banks want CBDC's - Central Bank Digital Currency. Means soon or later the Banks need to know how to handle all the different Tokens like NFT 's, Crypto Currencies, digital Bonds, digital Shares and Derivatives and more.
So, why not starting now and give to the clients what they want?
Oscar will show use cases how such an integration of a Custody Applications can be done in to the Bank IT environment.

Incentage recently established a new complete operative office in Canada. One colleague, Thomas Arnold took over the first Canadian chair and desk in Toronto a couple of weeks ago.
As Incentage is growing very fast in North America as well as Central and South America it was just a matter of time until Incentage needed to start his own premises in this area of the world. With this step we want of to grow our client base.
But much more important than growing in number of clients is to provide an extraordinary service and support to our existing clients.
It is reasonable to be in the same time zone as our fastest growing client base where Incentage is building a highly skilled team of experts in IT and financial services.
But there are also operative viewpoints, because having an office in another continent makes a 24/7 support easier and brings resiliency to the company especially in these days.
And please note: Thomas is hiring -> Link to job post

Andrei: ISO 20022 is the language of the future for the financial word. That is the shortest description I can come up with. To go into a bit more detail, the XML based ISO20022 standard allows Financial Institutions to use richer data sets in a standardized fashion. This means that systems can consume messages with faster automation and resolution.
Message transformation is a cost-effective solution for navigating the coming transitional phase from the soon-to-be legacy SWIFT FIN (MT) standard to the future ISO 20022 standard. It helps Financial Institutions to start using and testing the new standards while keeping their existing systems mostly untouched. As the transition phase ends and the challenges posed by moving to the new standards are overcome, the systems themselves will benefit from the time spent using the ISO 20022 standards and will incorporate the latest changes. This will make them fully compliant with the new ways of the financial world.
The main challenge raised by doing the transformations is that we are working in a constantly evolving environment. The new standard must not only cater for existing products and situations, but must also face the following paradox in the financial world: As the landscape is more interconnected, data and systems become increasingly diverse. As such, the standards themselves must evolve to keep ahead of the needs of the world and the systems that use these standards have to respond fast to the changes. This is where the flexibility of our products comes into play, as this is what allows us to react very quickly and implement these changes.
There is also the aspect of variety in the implementation of the ISO 20022 standard across different systems. A message of the same type from SEPA or TARGET2 (T2) will not necessarily look exactly the same as one from CBPR+. Both systems are going to evolve separately and might end up with some changes in the future, which you have to take into account and keep track of. Thankfully, our solutions allow us to tackle this challenge in an efficient and robust way.
Well, I would say that “old-fashioned” is not a bad thing in itself. There is still great value in the traditional way of message processing and there is still a lot of room for improvements that will generate even more value for it. So I would reason that the “old way” is going to be with us for a long time to come, especially if it is constantly improved and if it can meet the demands of tomorrow.
Blockchain technology, while not new by any means, is still in its infancy, in my opinion. It has to prove that it can be at the very least as resilient, secure and cost effective as its counterparts, before there is any talk about replacing them. This does not mean that blockchain technologies do not have tremendous potential, they absolutely do, but first they must prove it and they must also stand the test of time.
As it stands, I think that the blockchain technology will continue to evolve. New projects are being created every day, some are meant to be industry disruptors and I am sure they will be one day. I am very curious to see what the next year will bring for this segment of technology
In short, no. I have not worked in any blockchain related projects so far. I am following a few blockchain platforms as I think they will provide the most interesting projects in the coming years. These are Cardano, Solana and Polka Dot. Each have different approaches to solving the issues that blockchains are facing, such as decentralization, network processing speed, scalability and cost and I am excited to see which one will bring the most innovative and disruptive projects in the coming years.
I think that the solutions and the expertise that we bring to the table are what give us at Incentage an edge in dealing with the coming transition to ISO 20022. Flexibility, fast response times and communication are key aspects in this endeavour and I believe these are core values for us.
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are still emerging concepts and technologies that may bring great value in the future, depending on their use cases and adoption. When the time comes for the financial world to embrace new concepts, we will definitely be there to support our customers and to provide them with quality products.
