CREST Bridge

The CREST Bridge is a resilient, richly functional interface to Euroclear UK & Ireland's CREST service, highly regarded for its reliability and ease of integration with back office systems.

A focus on transactions

The CREST Bridge is much more than a technical interface to CREST. It provides the business operations team with everything needed to ensure that transactions are reliably settled at CREST day after day.

Inputting transactions is simple, either by setting up message flows from back office systems, using any convenient format, or by using the CREST Bridge’s intuitive browser-based GUI. Monitoring transactions through to settlement is handled automatically by the CREST Bridge.

Status changes can be notified to back office systems in full ‘granular’ detail, or only on selected key events. Alerts identify potential settlement problems to users, who can use the CREST Bridge’s full range of transaction browse and detail functions to identify any problems.

Priority changes, freeze/unfreeze, deletion, and splits can also be input manually into the CREST Bridge where needed, to resolve settlement problems quickly.

The CREST Bridge handles all kinds of special cases with ease: alleged transactions or deletions, third party and centrally generated transactions, splitting and partialling, and more.

The relevant users are alerted to any situations they may need to investigate. Its flexible business logic ensures that it responds in the right way to each CREST transaction type, in every situation. In this way the CREST Bridge fully supports Straight Through Processing (STP), requiring no human intervention in normal daily use.

Stock and cash balance and posting data is obtained automatically and forwarded to reconciliation systems, using the most convenient format for the receiving system.
