SOFTEK AND TRANSPARENCE ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP TO ADVANCE CLIENT ASSET OPTIMIZATION FOR SECURITIES FINANCE

Partnership delivers end-to-end collateral efficiency by uniting advanced regulatory calculation engines with institutional-grade securities lending execution and lifecycle workflows.

NEW YORK and TORONTO — 1st September 2026 — Softek, a leading provider of capital, margin, operations, risk and regulatory solutions, and Transparence IO LLC (“Transparence”), a provider of securities finance technology and operational solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver integrated client segregation optimization and automated securities finance workflows for U.S. broker-dealers, banks, and global financial institutions.

By bridging Softek’s automated regulatory calculation engine with Transparence’s trade and lifecycle management platform, the integrated solution resolves long-standing market friction: balancing customer protection requirements with optimal yield. Softek calculates real-time optimized collateral, which Transparence utilizes across live inventory deployment, trade execution, and financing opportunities.

“As market participants face unprecedented pressure to optimize capital, collateral, and liquidity, firms can no longer afford disconnected regulatory and trading operations,” said William Peck, Chief Revenue Officer of Softek. “Our partnership with Transparence brings together two highly complementary platforms to maximize the value of those assets within the securities finance ecosystem.”

The combined offering enables institutions to:

·         Optimize client asset releases resulting from client segregation calculations

·         Increase inventory utilization and securities lending revenue opportunities

·         Streamline workflows across collateral, securities lending, and treasury functions

·         Enhance control frameworks while maintaining strict compliance with customer protection and segregation rules

·         Access real-time risk and credit overlays with views into liquidity, sector, Value at Risk (VaR), and probability of default exposures

“Softek brings an unmatched depth of regulatory calculation and risk expertise that perfectly complements our securities financing solutions platform,” said Anthony Venditti, Founder and CEO of Transparence. “This integration gives trading and financing desks full visibility and the agility to deploy available inventory faster and more efficiently.

The combined solution is available immediately to mutual clients and institutions seeking to modernize collateral and securities finance workflows.
