OREANDA-NEWS. April 24, 2015. Lombard Risk Management plc (LSE: LRM), a leading provider of integrated collateral management, regulatory compliance and reporting solutions for the financial services industry, is pleased to announce that COLLINE-the company's award-winning collateral management, clearing, inventory management and optimisation solution-has recorded a significant number of sales and 'go-lives' in the past few months.

4 major U.S. and Canadian firms have selected COLLINE for collateral management:

·   One of the largest banks in the United States by market value has selected COLLINE to support its collateral management needs.  This Tier 1, multi-national banking and financial services holding company, conducted a rigorous market search to identify an automated end-to-end solution for its collateral management operations.  The COLLINE solution is a replacement to its legacy system which was unable to keep up with the recently imposed and pending regulations.

·     An independently operated investment management subsidiary of a major Tier 1 multi-national banking and financial services holding company, focused exclusively on providing fixed income and stable value management services to institutional investors, has selected Lombard Risk's COLLINE cross-product collateral management system-most specifically to address its compliance needs with the upcoming FINRA final rule (FINRA Rule 4210) on TBA (To-Be-Announced) transaction mandatory margining for MBS (Mortgage-Backed Security) trades.

·   A major national financial services organisation and leading provider of retirement services in the academic, research, medical and cultural fields, has selected Lombard Risk's COLLINE cloud solution to support the management of its cross-asset portfolio from multiple US locations.

·     One of Canada's largest banks as measured by assets, and one of the largest banks in the United States' leading diversified financial services companies, has selected COLLINE to replace its current legacy collateral management system.  This decision resulted from a careful review of its global collateral programmes and active search for a comprehensive solution to maximise the efficiency and reduce the cost of its collateral and inventory management processes, whilst supporting regulatory changes and new industry standards.

2 COLLINE clients recently went live in Europe, simultaneously:

·   Both a European Tier 1 bank with a worldwide licence for nearly the full COLLINE suite and a major Luxembourg-based bank also licensed for Lombard Risk's collateral management solution, successfully went live over the same weekend-illustrating the strength and depth of the Lombard Risk professional services team.

2 new COLLINE clients in Asia Pacific:

·   A Japanese multi-national banking and financial services company bought COLLINE to manage its collateral from Tokyo, New York and London.

·     A Japanese cooperative bank serving over 5,500 (agriculture, forestry and fishery) cooperatives from its headquarters in Tokyo selected COLLINE.

John Wisbey, CEO of Lombard Risk, commented: "We are delighted to have been able to add several more prestigious clients to our very high quality client list for COLLINE in addition to successfully implementing the solution simultaneously at two well-regarded European client sites, on time and within budget."

Lombard Risk's COLLINE enables firms to move away from managing collateral in business silos by supporting multiple business lines on a single platform therefore enabling firms to manage collateral inventory better, enable optimisation and proactively address both liquidity and capital charge constraints.
