The Bank of England is preparing to replace its 26-year-old core settlement engine, but adapting to this new landscape will require fundamental behavioral shifts from participating banks. In a recent article for The Stack, FNA Founder & CEO Kimmo Soramäki explains why system-wide simulations are essential for coordinating these changes and optimizing liquidity.

UK Finance partnered with FNA to optimize liquidity and reduce operational risks within the £360 billion-per-day CHAPS payment system. By leveraging FNA’s simulation technology and Bipartite Payment Reduction (BPR) algorithm, they successfully modeled a pre-open netting cycle to compress early payment obligations.
