ZagTrader, a Dubai-based global financial technology company providing institutional infrastructure across trading, brokerage, asset management, and digital asset markets, has welcomed the launch of its fully integrated securities borrowing and lending (SBL) module.
It is designed to enable brokers and financial institutions to offer structured securities lending and short selling capabilities within a controlled, compliant, and automated framework.
The new module forms part of ZagTrader’s broader institutional infrastructure platform, supporting the operational and risk management requirements of capital markets participants engaging in securities finance activities, the firm says.
Institutions will be able to facilitate securities borrowing requests, manage lender inventory, monitor collateral coverage, and automate interest accrual and settlement workflows — all within a unified trading, risk, and accounting environment.
Integrated directly within ZagTrader’s multi-asset trading, risk management, accounting, and reporting infrastructure, the solution enables brokers and financial institutions to facilitate securities borrowing for short selling or settlement coverage, as well as monitor collateral levels and enforce real-time risk controls.
The module incorporates a structured risk-management framework designed to support institutional operations, including dedicated securities borrowing account structures; and cash collateral reservation with configurable haircuts and over-collateralisation.
