Stockholm, Sweden & London, UK – April 2, 2025

SEB, one of the leading Nordic corporate and investment banks, has partnered with Trading Apps, a specialist fintech firm focused on workflow and automation solutions for securities finance, to streamline securities finance communication with TA.Link integration.

This partnership marks a step forward in SEB’s commitment to technological innovation and efficiency in the securities finance space. By adopting TA.Link, SEB is now equipped to communicate seamlessly with counterparties via API, enabling automated, real-time message flows for both its borrowing and lending activity.

“We’re excited to be working with Trading Apps and to adopt TA.Link as part of our broader digitalization strategy,” said Dan Murphy, Head of Equity Finance at SEB. “The ability to interact with counterparties in a secure, scalable, and fully automated way is an enabler for our growth and operational efficiency across securities finance.”

TA.Link provides a standardized, yet flexible API-driven communication layer, allowing firms to send and receive key lifecycle messages—including availability, borrows, returns, recalls, and allocations.

“We’re thrilled to welcome SEB to the TA.Link network,” said Matthew Harrison, CEO at Trading Apps. “SEB’s decision to integrate both the messaging service and API capability demonstrates their forward-thinking approach to automation, and we’re proud to support their team as they streamline interaction with both borrowers and lenders.”

The TA.Link network continues to grow across the securities finance industry, connecting buy-side and sell-side firms with fast, reliable, and secure messaging infrastructure that enhances efficiency, reduces risk, and supports scale.
