No more STP barriers - never mind the blocks, here's the STP

The number of different formats for electronic deal capture and the exchange of post-trade affirmations has been a major barrier to achieving STP. Reuters Trade Notification Service replaces the tangle of methods with a single connection that gives you deal capture and notifications in the format of your choice.

• Liquidity venues can publish trade data through a single standard API
• Counterparties can receive all their incoming notifications through a single connection in a market standard format of their choice

Reuters Trade Notification Service handles everything in between. Regardless of where the notification was published, Reuters Trade Notification Service delivers it to the receiver in the receiver's preferred format.

Result, nobody has to worry about multiple connections any more. Trade notifications are simpler and quicker.

No charge to join.* Any counterparty can sign up as receivers for Reuters Trade Notification Service at no charge.*
