Corona Confirmations

Corona Confirmations is the multi-platform solution for the real time matching of Foreign exchange, Derivatives and Money market confirmations arriving from the our bank’s Forex department with those of the partners and brokers.

Corona Confirmations allows for a matching rate of up to 90 percent. This extraordinarily high automatic matching rate is due to special features: Conversion of longtexts and Standard payment instructions. Corona Confirmations also automatically recognizes and processes SWIFT Amend and Cancel codes.

Corona Confirmations supports 2-way and 3-way matching. Retention periods that depend on the access area and the message type allow for keeping different messages in the system for different periods. Moreover, overdue times can be defined for each partner, message type and SWIFT code word in the overdue rule sets so that via the highly sophisticated inquiry function it is possible to select all overdue confirmations for further processing. In a multi-bank environment, Corona Confirmations even supports access area-dependent overdue times. By automatically identifying overdue, i.e. missing or incorrect confirmations, users can concentrate on exception processing and routine work is thus reduced to a minimum.

• the Multi-bank version of Corona Confirmations allows several departments to work on the same system on up to three hierarchical access areas fully independently of each other. They can share static data, such as definitions of banks or currencies, while at the same time each institution can customize and view only their own specific data.
