The creation of an intraday FX swaps market provides banks with a new mechanism to manage intraday liquidity requirements across core currencies

London/New York: Finteum, the intraday liquidity management platform for global financial institutions, today announced that it has reached USD 1 billion in weekly intraday FX swap trades. This milestone, driven by increased volumes from participant banks, underscores Finteum's role in optimising intraday liquidity for global institutions and creating efficiency for the established USD 10 trillion per day FX and repo markets.

Goldman Sachs has now joined the platform and successfully completed their first series of trades, including the platform’s largest intraday FX swap trade to date, further highlighting the industry’s focus on intraday liquidity management. Additional banks are undertaking trades in preparation to go live, as the ecosystem continues to scale.

Following the publication of the ECB sound practices for intraday liquidity management in Nov 2024, global banks and regulators have been prioritising intraday liquidity. The Finteum team anticipates further accelerated market adoption with 10 banks expected to be live on the platform by the end of 2026, with an ever-increasing focus on real-time payments and 24/7 markets.

Finteum’s peer-to-peer platform leverages distributed ledger technology (“DLT”) and enables banks to borrow and lend cash on an intraday basis using FX swap transactions, which are executed on the TP ICAP UK MTF. Moving into 2026, and with the platform now providing access for participants to source key currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and CHF, Finteum is working closely with technology partners to integrate digital money solutions and deliver PvP settlement of intraday FX swaps.

"Intraday FX swaps are a powerful new tool to help Goldman Sachs efficiently manage our liquidity needs. We are pleased to work with Finteum to advance this market, leveraging distributed ledger technology to execute transactions and move cash in near real time, at scale."

Global Treasurer of Goldman Sachs

Donal Quaid, Group Treasurer of NatWest Group said: “The movement of money is faster than ever before, and as markets shift towards real-time settlement, managing intraday liquidity has become critical. Technologies like DLT are transforming how quickly and confidently institutions can see, deploy and control liquidity throughout the day – our work with Finteum is an important part of this evolution as it enables greater speed, flexibility and certainty as we adapt to a world where funding and settlement happen continuously rather than at set points throughout a day.”

Anthony Clark-Jones, Portfolio Lead – Strategic Ventures, UBS Investment Bank said: “We are committed to driving innovation across our Capital Markets businesses, including how we source and manage liquidity in an evolving real-time market environment. By increasing intraday FX swap volumes on the Finteum Platform, we are enhancing our ability to manage liquidity efficiently – optimizing our balance sheet at scale and ultimately delivering greater value to our clients. This initiative reflects our focus on leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet the demands of faster settlement cycles and rising regulatory expectations.”

The Finteum network operates as a distributed system. UBS and NatWest Group both completed the technology work to deploy the Finteum Platform components within their respective banks’ infrastructure, enabling enhanced data privacy and operational resilience, compared with centralised systems. For banks seeking a quicker time to trade, Finteum also offers infrastructure hosting services.

Brian Nolan, CEO and co-founder of Finteum, said: “Reaching the USD 1 billion weekly trade threshold is a significant moment for Finteum and for the evolution of intraday liquidity markets. Banks globally are looking for ways to operate more efficiently in real time, and intraday FX swaps are becoming an important tool in meeting this requirement.

We are proud to be working with some of the world’s leading institutions who are helping to shape this new market. This milestone shows the momentum behind our platform as we continue to expand participation and functionality through 2026.”
