Cross-asset real-time affirmation
No more affirming trades over email. Manage affirmation and give-up workflows with every counterparty on the Float network. Eliminate risk in minutes, not days.
Our approach
A new network for affirmation
Replace email affirmations with real-time matching on the Float network. Bilateral and prime brokered trades are checked against your booking as they arrive.
Connected counterparties
Electronic affirmation
Trades in any asset class are matched bilaterally or with your prime broker in real time, over the same Float network you use for trade capture.
Shared workflows
One-click affirmation
Every party sees alleged trades as they arrive. Affirm in one click, or resolve disputes across the full trade economics, without leaving the platform.
Agentic automation
Automated email capture
For dealers still affirming by email, manage every affirmation centrally while Sterling handles the manual work.
One solution, cross-asset
Affirm every product with every counterparty in one workflow, so affirmation scales with your trading instead of your headcount.
Real-time connectivity
Alleged trades, affirmations, and status updates move between you and your counterparties as they happen, not in end-of-day batches.
Complex products
Affirmation runs on FloatML, so even the most exotic structures are affirmed on their full terms.
Collaborative resolution
When terms differ, both sides see the same break and resolve it together, with shared commentary and a full audit trail of every change.
Straight-through processing
Affirmed trades flow to your PMS or OMS over FIX or REST with nothing re-keyed, and you track their status in real time in your own systems.
Affirmed early, settled cleanly
Agreeing the economics on the day of the trade removes most of the reasons a trade breaks later.
Trade capture
Affirmation runs on trades captured over the Float network, so breaks clear in real time, well before settlement.
Confirmation
Validate economics on trade date, derisking issues normally caught during paper confirmation review.
Reconciliation
Accurate data across every trade event means fewer reconciliation breaks downstream.
Automation
Connect affirmation data to your own systems and agents to track status and resolve issues.
Move affirmation off email
Connect your counterparties on the Float network. Affirm any product in one click, resolve breaks together, and keep risk off your books.
