Case Study: KBC achieves millisecond e-trading response and IMM approval with SS&C Technologies' IMCR solution

Milli-second e-trading and IMM approval achieved with SS&C Algorithmics Integrated Market and Credit Risk solution

KBC, a Belgium-based bank-insurance group serving over 13 million clients, needed to overhaul its end-to-end counterparty risk process to meet ECB TRIM expectations, create a single trading-book risk framework, and integrate electronic trading with ultra‑low latency limit checks. To achieve this, KBC partnered with SS&C Technologies, adopting the SS&C Algorithmics Integrated Market and Credit Risk (IMCR) solution as the strategic platform.

SS&C Technologies implemented IMCR’s single cross‑asset, 24/7 trading‑book view with real‑time pre‑deal architecture, advanced collateral and netting models, and a hyper‑fast simulation engine; teams from KBC and SS&C collaborated on feature development, tuning and prioritisation. The result was a streamlined, high‑performance process delivering milli‑second e‑trading limit responses, combined simulated and non‑simulated exposures into a single credit line, compliance with regulatory/TRIM requirements and achievement of IMM approval.
