Founded in 1988 from the IT department of the Lyon Stock Exchange, SLIB has grown over more than 30 years into a specialised software provider serving 30 prominent customers through a team of more than 140 professionals based in Paris, Lyon and Lisbon.<\/p><p>\nSLIB has been trusted by major European asset servicers, broker-dealers and banks.<i> <\/i>This combination strengthens Objectway's long-standing relationships with shared clients such as BNP Paribas, while expanding its footprint across additional leading financial institutions.<i> <\/i>It offers a portfolio of FinTech and RegTech solutions spanning end-to-end securities processing, retail brokerage and risk management.<i> <\/i>Complementing its software offering, SLIB also delivers a full range of professional services, helping clients implement, operate and continuously evolve their technology platforms.<\/p><p>\nObjectway's platform today supports institutions across the distribution and manufacturing of investment services \u2014 from client lifecycle management, advisory and portfolio management, to core banking, securities back-office and fund administration \u2014 for wealth management, private banking and asset management clients across EMEA and Canada.<\/p><p>\nThe acquisition of SLIB will extend Objectway's coverage of the investment services value chain into the trading and execution layer of capital markets, adding front-to-back securities processing, clearing, settlement and risk management capabilities. Combined, the two businesses will support clients across the full financial services value chain end-to-end, reinforcing Objectway's proposition for institutions seeking a strategic solution partner.
