Partior, LSEG DiSH link to provide 24/7 settlement liquidity

Partior and LSEG DiSH announced a partnership to link Partior’s interbank settlement network with LSEG DiSH’s digital settlement platform to provide continuous access to settlement bank liquidity. The service will begin with a limited pilot involving a selected group of banks and transactions.

The integration will let banks, custodians and broker-dealers source liquidity on demand, including outside traditional market hours, to meet settlement obligations. The connection supports delivery-versus-payment and near-real-time post-trade flows and seeks to reduce the need for prefunded nostro accounts.

The joint link is designed to support both domestic and cross-border transactions by providing a liquidity layer that can be accessed when trades execute or when intraday netting creates a funding need. Technical work will focus on secure messaging, account mapping and transaction settlement workflows to align with regulatory and bank compliance requirements.

During the pilot, participating institutions will validate connectivity, operational controls, reconciliation and compliance procedures before a broader rollout to additional institutions, markets and currencies.

Potential users include banks, broker-dealers, custodians and institutional investors that settle securities and payments. Continuous access to settlement liquidity can reduce delayed funding, lower prefunded nostro balances and simplify treasury liquidity management across time zones.

Regulators and market authorities will monitor the collaboration for operational resilience and compliance with anti-money-laundering and payment-system rules. The companies will coordinate with relevant authorities and banks as the service scales.

Partior operates a ledger-based platform that enables netting and direct settlement between participating institutions. LSEG DiSH is the London Stock Exchange Group business that provides digital settlement and post-trade solutions for tokenised and traditional securities.
