Case Study: Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank achieves real-time, adaptive global risk reporting and regulatory compliance with FIS Adaptiv

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank Adapts its Risk Processes for Regulators and Clients

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank (SMTB) faced rapidly evolving global and local regulatory demands (Basel III, Dodd‑Frank, EMIR, JFSA) and increased market volatility driven by Abenomics, requiring faster, more transparent enterprise risk reporting without materially raising costs. To address this, SMTB deployed FIS’ Adaptiv as its core market‑risk and regulatory reporting platform across its global offices.

FIS implemented Adaptiv to consolidate SMTB’s global market‑risk books, deliver jurisdiction‑specific regulatory reports, enable real‑time ad hoc analysis and workflow customization, and provide ongoing upgrades and onsite support (in partnership with MKI). As a result, SMTB can produce more frequent, detailed exposure updates, identify hot spots and take corrective action within the same day, complete upgrades within budget and tight project cycles, and maintain a common platform that lowers total cost of ownership while meeting regulatory and client requirements.
