Helaba has gone live on the MX.3 for Collateral Management solution from Murex.
This is the latest milestone in a decades-long collaboration between the German financial institution and the global fintech leader. It will power an increased level of automation in collateral operations for the bank.
Helaba is a Landesbank, minority owned by the federal states of Hesse and Thuringia. It is part of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, a public sector bank network that is the largest by assets in Germany and Europe. Helaba serves corporates, institutional clients, the public sector and retail. Starting work with Murex in 1997, the bank completed migration to the MX.3 platform in 2023, which enabled the recent extension.
MX.3 for Collateral Management will deliver broad functional coverage, end-to-end management with high straight-through processing and shared data across functions.
The implementation ensures strong regulatory compliance—including UMR and ISDA, for which Murex is a certified vendor—and provides a simple, ergonomic user experience.
Leveraging data already available in Helaba’s existing MX.3 instance, the solution simplifies operations, reduces costs and consolidates collateral management activities on a single platform.
“Following the implementation of MX.3 for Collateral Management with Murex, we are now operating with a stable and modern collateral management system that meets our strategic needs and sets a strong foundation for the future,” said Helaba IT Director Anja Schlütz. “This implementation underscores Helaba’s continuous uptake of leading technology. Helaba benefits from a stable and robust system that enhances operational efficiency and aligns with its collateral management strategy.”
Enabled by a deep, global pool of Murex expertise, MX.3 for Collateral Management positions Helaba to adapt efficiently to future market and regulatory developments.
“Murex experts devoted a wide breadth of organizational expertise developed over more than 100 collateral management solution implementations worldwide, including three in Germany, to this successful collaboration with Helaba,” said Murex’s Central Europe Managing Director Luc Testud. “The bank has gained leading standard market practices with the flexibility to achieve customizations as and when needed.”
