Arizona Tribune - Catalyst Launches New Innovative Bond Trading Platform for Credit Unions

The new platform, built on Intercontinental Exchange's robust database, is designed to make it easy for credit unions to search, analyze and execute trades on a wide range of fixed income products. It features curated internal bond offerings vetted for regulatory compliance, advanced analytics for due diligence and broker desk oversight to ensure secure and suitable transactions.

"The system is intuitive and easy to use, making trade execution straightforward for credit unions," said Jonathan Jackson, Catalyst Manager of Brokerage Services. "It combines Catalyst's expertise in credit union portfolios with advanced analytics and curated offerings, helping users efficiently identify suitable investments while ensuring regulatory compliance and providing broker support throughout the process."

This platform sets itself apart with several key differentiators:

Credit union-focused expertise: designed exclusively for credit unions, leveraging deep regulatory knowledge and portfolio needs to curate bond offerings that are appropriate and attractive for this sector. Internal offers are highlighted and vetted specifically for credit union suitability, streamlining the investment process.

Comprehensive market access: provides access to a deep and diverse range of fixed income products - including treasuries, agencies, corporates and mortgage-backed securities.

Intuitive, user-friendly interface: modeled after familiar online trading systems and integrates single sign-on for ease of access.

Advanced analytics: built-in analytics support pre- and post-purchase due diligence, including price volatility, projected cash flows, and regulatory-required documentation. These analytics are available in real time and can be retained for examiner records.

Live and request-for-offer pricing: Treasuries and certain agency bonds are priced live, while more complex products, like mortgage-backed securities, use request-for-bid pricing with rapid broker follow-up to confirm execution.

Broker support and safeguards: every order is reviewed by Catalyst's trading desk, providing an extra layer of oversight and guidance.
