EquiLend, a provider of trading, post-trade, market data and clearing services for the securities finance industry, has opened a new office in Dublin to serve European clients following Brexit.
EquiLend’s new office at South Point is the headquarters of EquiLend Limited, the firm’s Irish entity.
According to Equilend, the launch of an Ireland-based entity, will enable the company to continue offering its trading platform post-Brexit to clients transacting in the EU.
EquiLend is registered as a multilateral trading facility (MTF) by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and is currently awaiting approval by the Central Bank of Ireland for MTF status in Ireland.
The firm said it will maintain its existing Canary Wharf office and MTF status in the UK to serve UK-based activity, as part of its commitment to the UK market.
The new location brings the total number of EquiLend offices to six, with locations in Toronto, Hong Kong, London and New York.
Laurence Marshall, managing director of EquiLend, said: “The ease of doing business in Ireland, its commitment to fintech and reputation as a tech centre of excellence, its location in the EU and the network of talent available here together made Dublin a clear choice for EquiLend’s EU operations.”
