Safeguard assets with increased transparency.

Our end-to-end custody platform can help you improve operational efficiency in a controlled environment and provide you with timely, integrated reporting. Fund trustee clients in Ireland experience extra layers of protection and oversight, since trust services are delivered independently from fund administration.

Our escrow solutions can help you achieve a seamless, end-to-end M&A experience encompassing advice, financing and settlement.

Short-term debt issuers can leverage our leading Issuing and Paying Agent (IPA) platform for issuance, as well as coupon and maturity payments, into the U.S. and European markets.

A crucial connection between fixed income and treasury, IPA can help you address your comprehensive funding and liquidity needs by issuing commercial paper, CDs and other short-term instruments with greater ease and convenience.
