REGIS-TR, the pan-European leader in G20 trade repository services will be the Trade Repository of choice for the BME Group, providing a fully flexible reporting service solution for Securities Finance Transaction Regulation (SFTR) requirements.

The BME Group will now be able to offer a holistic solution, enabling customers to meet their reporting obligations in an efficient and cost effective manner.

David Retana, Managing Director, REGIS-TR, said: “We’re delighted to be offering our SFTR services to the BME Group. This announcement marks the continuation of our close collaboration with the BME Group to alleviate the reporting burden for market participants to the greatest extent possible.”
