Ian McLelland, CEO of DTCC’s European trade repository said: “The connectivity to the triResolve service is an important partnership for DTCC. As Europe’s largest trade repository, we will continue to work with the industry, the regulatory community and our third party providers to promote greater common standards which will continue to improve the transparency and risk mitigation in the derivatives markets.”

With visibility across all the reported data fields in triResolve, firms can identify any discrepancies.
“Implementing this connectivity enables firms to use triResolve to efficiently verify data in the repositories,” said Raf Pritchard, CEO of triResolve. “This is an important tool to ensure accuracy of data in the repositories, a key regulatory goal.”
