Workflow complexity
Every securities finance transaction depends on a series of connected workflows. From pre-trade readiness, through trade execution, multiple post-trade processes, and regulatory compliance, teams often rely on disconnected systems and manual processes that create operational risk, increase costs, and limit scalability.
A connected automation framework
Equilend's Workflow Automation solutions connect these processes within a single ecosystem, enabling firms to automate routine tasks, improve operational efficiency, reduce risk, and maintain complete visibility across the trade lifecycle. Whether you're optimising front-office workflows, modernising operations, expanding fully paid lending, or streamlining post-trade processing, each solution is designed to work independently or as part of a connected operating model.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Post-Trade & Regulatory and Front Office Automation?
Post-Trade & Regulatory covers onboarding, reconciliation, trade lifecycle processes, settlement and collateral management, and regulatory compliance for SFTR, 10c-1a, and ALD. Front Office Automation covers trade intake, pricing, locates, and rerates for lending and borrowing desks. Many firms use both.
Which workflow automation solution is right for my firm type?
Agent lenders and beneficial owners usually start with front-office automation and post-trade reconciliation. Broker-dealers and prime brokers focus on borrowing automation, locates, and settlement. See our client types and how our solutions help them on the Who We Serve pages.
What is Spire?
Spire provides an integrated solution for trading, books and records, billing, and cash reinvestment. Built specifically for the securities finance market, Spire streamlines front-to-back workflows, automates manual processes, and connects seamlessly with the broader Equilend ecosystem, helping firms improve operational efficiency, reduce complexity, and scale with confidence.
What is the benefit of Fully Paid Lending?
Fully Paid Lending enables firms to generate a recurring revenue stream from existing client assets while giving investors the opportunity to earn additional income on securities they already own. With automated inventory management, compliance, loan allocation, and reporting, firms can launch and scale lending programmes efficiently, increase asset utilisation, and enhance the client experience without adding operational complexity.
How do Workflow Automation solutions help with the move to T+1 settlement?
The EU, UK, and Switzerland move to T+1 settlement in October 2027, leaving firms up to 80% less time to resolve settlement fails. Workflow Automation covers the highest-risk steps, including pre-matching and fails management, recalls and returns, and SSI accuracy, so breaks are caught before they become penalties.
How can Front Office Automation improve securities lending and borrowing workflows?
Front Office Automation helps firms automate repetitive trading tasks such as trade intake, pricing, locates, rerates, availability management, and execution using configurable business rules. By reducing manual intervention, trading teams can respond to market opportunities faster, improve operational efficiency, and focus on higher-value trading decisions.
