Quantile's interest rate compression service is now live at JSCC

Quantile has announced the launch of its compression service at the Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC). Driven by demand from clearing members for greater choice and more flexibility, the service extends our venue coverage and will enable market participants to compress JPY interest rate swaps to reduce gross notional outstanding.

By eliminating transactions at JSCC through multilateral compression, participants can reduce operational risk, meet regulatory requirements and benefit from capital efficiencies. With the majority of JPY OTC interest rate swaps cleared at JSCC, we can now also use our proven compression process to help JSCC clearing members to reduce gross notional and transition their legacy LIBOR positions to risk-free rates.

Market participants have welcomed the greater degree of choice at JSCC, with the first live execution seeing 7 clearing members take part. We aim to run the service quarterly going forward and continue to onboard additional participants to deliver greater efficiency.
