Capital Market Funding System
As financial institutions face stricter regulations and mounting competition, effective collateral management has become increasingly important. Higher losses due to credit failures and highly volatile stock markets over the last few years have further strengthened institutions' focus on efficient collateral management of the collaterals deposited by customers. Process flows are often not very efficient, and front-office processes are not coordinated with back-office activities. Typically, there is little or no system support, and distributed data makes reporting both time-consuming and costly.
For efficient collateral management, institutions need software that minimizes manual processing tasks and provides flexible capabilities for valuing collaterals using complex business rules. It should also have capability to track receivables, collateral assets. And it should easily integrate with other systems, such as loan systems;
