ABOUT US

Based in London, SSImple is a dynamic, fast-paced SaaS fintech start-up that specialises in simplifying Standing Settlement Instructions (SSIs) for financial institutions.

We're dedicated to ensuring our clients' SSI data is 100% accurate and efficiently managed, enabling them to meet their regulatory obligations as settlement regimes and regulations around the world become ever more stringent. With custodians, buy-sides, brokers, and partners live on our proprietary platform, we are rapidly transforming their operational efficiency while reducing their settlement and regulatory risk.
