Modern Custody & Back Office Automation

ZagTrader enables financial institutions to manage custody, settlements, reconciliation, and accounting with full transparency and automation — across traditional and digital assets.

Institutional Custody, Reconciliation, and Accounting Infrastructure

Custody, settlement, reconciliation, and the general ledger usually live in separate systems with manual hand-offs in between. ZagTrader runs them on one platform — positions, instructions, cash, and postings all share the same source of truth — so safekeeping, settlement, and accounting stay in step across asset classes and geographies.

Streamline operations, reduce errors, and stay audit-ready with real-time control.

Key Capabilities

Comprehensive custody and back office automation tools

Multi-Market Settlement
Settle DVP, RVP, and FOP across markets and custodians with per-leg status and configurable T+N cycles — so every trade reaches final settlement on a single, traceable timeline.
SWIFT & ISO 15022 Messaging
Generate, format, and dispatch SWIFT MT54x settlement instructions over ISO 15022 — replacing manual instruction handling with straight-through messaging to your custodians.
Automated Reconciliation
Reconcile custodian, holdings, and aggregate client-money positions daily — auto-matched with exceptions flagged the moment they appear, so breaks surface before they become problems.
Integrated General Ledger
An integrated GL with multi-currency balances and real-time posting keeps custody, settlement, and cash activity reflected in your books as it happens — no end-of-day batch to wait on.
Corporate Actions Processing
Process entitlements, dividends, splits, and redemptions with validation and client communication built in — keeping holdings and balances accurate through every event.
Stock Transfers
Handle client-to-client, inter-portfolio, gift, and inheritance transfers with fee and VAT logic applied automatically — moving positions accurately without manual recalculation.
Omnibus & Segregated Custody
Model omnibus and segregated account structures side by side for institutional custody — giving each client the holding structure they require on one platform.
Multi-Asset Safekeeping
Hold equities, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, and tokenized assets under one custody framework, with safekeeping accounts, position tracking, and transfer instructions in one place.
Audit Trails & Controls
Every operational action is timestamped and recorded, with role-based permissions and approval hierarchies — so you stay audit-ready and in control across the back office.
