Trade Affirmation: TradeSuite ID®
Powering Efficient Trade Affirmation
For over three decades, TradeSuite ID has been the cornerstone of U.S. equity and fixed income markets.
Trade affirmations are an acknowledgement by the counterparty or their agent acting to the broker dealer agreeing that the trade confirmation details are accurate. When both parties agree to a DTC-eligible trade, TradeSuite ID captures the required information. By automating the affirmation process, same-day affirmation rates are increased, settlement risk and cost are reduced and manual processes are eliminated - enabling T+1 settlement.
