Matsui adopts Broadridge solution to transform lending

By Parth Prabhudesai

Matsui Securities Co., Ltd. is transforming its securities lending operations by implementing the JASDEC Processing Solution (JASDECPS) from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

The move builds on Matsui’s earlier deployment of Broadridge’s post-trade processing platform and marks a significant step toward automation and operational efficiency. By leveraging Broadridge’s SaaS-based solution, Matsui aims to streamline securities lending processes, enhance transaction efficiency, and strengthen its market position.

The JASDECPS platform enables automated trade matching via the Pre-Settlement Matching System (PSMS) and supports seamless securities transfers within Japan Securities Depository Centre, including Delivery versus Payment (DVP) settlements. This reduces manual intervention and allows transactions to be processed in near real-time, improving speed and accuracy.

Shinichi Uzawa, Director and Senior Managing Executive Officer at Matsui Securities, said “This integration is crucial for expanding our presence in the securities lending market while leveraging operational efficiencies. Our partnership with Broadridge aligns with our strategic transformation goals.”

The adoption also enhances Straight-Through Processing (STP), enabling Matsui to accelerate the lending lifecycle and better respond to market demand. Moving to a SaaS model allows faster deployment and scalability, helping the firm innovate and grow in a competitive environment.

David Runacres, President of APAC and Senior Country Officer for Japan at Broadridge, said: “Our SaaS solution, integrated with post-trade processing and JASDECPS, provides a strong framework for firms to succeed in Japan’s evolving financial landscape.”

The implementation comes as JASDEC prepares for its upcoming system changes under the JASDEC2025 initiative, scheduled for rollout in May 2026 and full implementation in 2027. The new solution is expected to support compliance with these standards while positioning Matsui for long-term growth and resilience.
