Bloomberg announced that RBL Bank, one of India’s leading private sector banks will adopt Bloomberg’s flagship real-time market data feed, B-PIPE.

Adopting B-PIPE will give the Bank access to the consolidated feed of 35 million instruments across all asset classes, including data aggregated from more than 330 exchanges and 5,000-plus contributors. As a result, RBL Bank will benefit from a consistent offering across its front, middle and back-office functions.

Manoj Nair – Head Wholesale Banking & Treasury Technology, RBL Bank said, “The adoption of Bloomberg’s real-time market data feed, B-PIPE, will help in seamless and close to real-time reporting. Deployment of this solution would enable rate scans of deals captured by the Treasury front office and have the ability to notify exceptions immediately.”
