Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) 76d ago

Europe's move to T+1 settlement by October 2027 is putting pressure on every link in the post-trade chain. Matching, confirmation, settlement, collateral management, liquidity — all of it needs to move faster, and with far fewer errors. In this episode, GLEIF CEO Alexandre Kech sits down with Eva-Maria Keller, Executive Director and Head of Data, Channels and Digital Operations at Clearstream (Deutsche Börse Group), to explore what that shift demands from post-trade data infrastructure — and how Clearstream is responding. They discuss: - Why instruction quality is the real bottleneck on the path to straight-through processing - How AI is enabling clients to interrogate their own post-trade data in natural language - The role of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) in reducing friction in cross-border settlement - Clearstream's runner-up recognition at the GLEIF Hackathon for using the verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) as a secure login standard - What "proactive" post-trade operations actually look like in practice "High-quality data creates trust. And trust is really important if we want to move to the next level of financial markets." — Eva-Maria Keller Follow us on Social: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/global-legal-entity-identifier-foundation-gleif-/ X: https://x.com/gleif YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP2xdWOFG7dWNaFIBKyejhg WeChat: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/-PpP0cdLZZAODTxBb7W99A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/trust-talks-exploring-organizational-identity-in-the/id1797313524 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/47PLlMUOhRSwA8t6gzyy0H Want to stay up to date on GLEIF, LEI, & vLEI?
