FIS Launches Securities Matching Platform to Boost U.S. Market Efficiency

FIS officially launched its Securities Finance Matching Platform in the U.S., following completion of its SEC filing process. This cloud-native, smart automation solution is designed to streamline the matching process for broker-dealers by identifying optimal matches between securities lenders and borrowers—prioritizing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and risk management.

Originally introduced in the U.K. in 2024, the platform now provides U.S. broker-dealers with an alternative to existing systems, reducing single-point-of-failure risk in a vital sector of the capital markets. The system evaluates variables such as rebate rates, capital requirements, and counter-party patterns to deliver fast, low-cost match outcomes.

FIS Capital Markets head Nasser Khodri emphasized the platform's potential to reduce operational friction and support scaling trade volumes in the face of tighter margins. The platform is part of the broader FIS Securities Finance Suite and will be operated in the U.S. through FIS Brokerage & Securities Services LLC, a FINRA and SIPC member.
