NEW YORK, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — EquiLend has expanded its capabilities as a global leader in securities finance with the acquisition of Trading Apps, a front-office technology provider known for its automation tools and modular trading solutions used by many of the world’s leading securities finance desks.

The acquisition aligns with EquiLend’s broader strategy to streamline the entire securities finance ecosystem – from front-office through post-trade – by embedding automation and flexibility at every stage. By integrating Trading Apps’ solutions, EquiLend expands its capabilities and offers clients tools that can be used independently or integrated with existing services.

Trading Apps offers a suite of innovative tools that enhance trading efficiency and automation across the securities finance ecosystem. Among its flagship offerings, the Lender and Borrower Apps are designed to automate front-office workflows, maximize execution speed, and accelerate trade flows. These tools help with identifying short positions, negotiating rates, and optimizing returns, while reducing manual workload, increasing trade volume capacity, and providing traders more control over lending and borrowing decisions.

TA.Link, Trading Apps’ trade messaging service, is also part of the acquisition and will serve as the resiliency solution for EquiLend’s NGT platform. The service will continue to operate independently, with no shared infrastructure or dependencies – a deliberate design choice to ensure redundancy and operational stability.
